I just spoke with K's mom. Mom has not seen K since Sunday, and is concerned about him. Lately, K had been living at his dad's house.
Christine, I do not think K feels he has to support his family, as, from what I gather, he has been somewhat distant from his mom and living here at this relative's house, and then at another's.
T (K's cousin) has told me this morning that he is not sure where K is living or has been staying. K's mom told me tonight that she doesn't know where he is. He stayed a while with his grandmom, then with an aunt.
In another post, I mentioned K's great grandfather who I met at the funeral. He gave me his contact info. K's mom and I made a plan for me to go to mom's house this Friday after work at 5 PM. She will make some calls and, hopefully, God willing, K will also be there. I will call great grandfather and tell him that we hope K goes to his mom's house on Friday. If nothing else, I am glad I am going to her house to meet with her.
I really cautioned Mom that I feel the best "approach" with K is to let him know how much we love him, and then to give him the space to talk about who he is now and what he wants for himself. To "lecture" him, I feel and shared with mom, would be really counter productive.
Thanks again for any prayers you can say for K, his mom (whose initial is P), and other family members.
Love,
Linda S
