Prayers...or something.

Ginger · 12-22-2007

I hate to lay out my problems here, but I thought I'd ask for some prayers from those of you who do that kind of thing, or positive thoughts or whatever. At this point I'm looking for any help I can get.

My mother has been a missing person for over a week now. She was last heard from 9 days ago. That’s when she last spoke with her boyfriend, whom she does not live with. My mom has a few emotional issues, she has Chronic Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder. She has made numerous threats of suicide in our lives, and apparently she said this again to her boyfriend last week. But after telling him she wanted nothing to do with him, his family, or anyone else ever again, she then phoned him back the next day right as rain. She was friendly, more upbeat, and then hung up like all was right in the world. Then she disappeared.

My sister had called her for two days to ask about what time she was coming over for Christmas. My mom lives in Victoria, which is a 2 hour ferry ride and another one hour drive from us. My mom never called her back, and my sister phoned me because she had a ‘weird feeling’.Well, to make a long story short, my mom has no friends besides her boyfriend and his family and a couple people from her church. She is a hermit, rarely leaving the house. She always returns her phone calls, and she does not like to stay away from home overnight.

The police have done some investigating, and tomorrow the case will be 'handed upstairs' to detectives. They went by her apartment and she wasn’t there, neither was her vehicle. They say it looked like she hadn’t been there in days. Her mailbox was completely stuffed full, so she hadn't gotten her mail in awhile. Her bank account has not been touched, and they will call us tomorrow to tell us about her credit cards.

Her boyfriend went to her house and found a note by the telephone that said "Please call these people" and listed mine and my sister's numbers, his numbers, and her pastor's number. The police are worried she has gone off somewhere to do herself harm.

Tomorrow or Monday they are going to put out a public plea via newspaper/tv news for anyone who has seen her or knows where she may be.

We are also worried that someone has done something to her, because in her neighbourhood there have been 54 apartment break-ins, including 10 or more in her building. In a couple of these, the person breaking in has done so when people are at home or sleeping, but the culprit runs away without hurting anyone. This still has us worried, though.

Anyway, we dont' know what to think. It's hard to deal with at this time of year with everything else we have on our plates. I just don't know what to do.

Oh, Leasa. You already know how I feel. My heart is with you, hope you don't mind that it's a little broken.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Lots of good thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Lots of (((HUGS))) as well.

Nan · 12-22-2007

I am so feeling your pain. My mother sounds very much like yours. I lost her when I was 21. I still miss her so much. I am praying that your mom turns up soon. Please keep us posted.

Seakony · 12-22-2007

I hope she is found soon so your heart can be at peace. Prayers coming your way.

jamesblonde · 12-22-2007

Oh Leasa, I am so sorry. I will say a prayer for your mom. I'm thinking about you and hurting for you.

Ginger, I truly wish there was more that I could do for you. I am sending postitive thoughts and virtual hugs your way.

Seakony · 12-22-2007

if somebody broke in...they wouldn't let her leave a note...right?

This has got to be driving you crazy with worry. Hang in there Leesa.

Ginger, I have a sister in the same mental boat as your Mom and she's pulled this on several occasions. I know exactly what you're going through. The good news is that they turn up. (A couple of times my sis checked herself into the hospital.) But it doesn't make you worry any less until they do.

And it's always at the GD holidays. My thoughts are with you.

Michele · 12-22-2007

Leesa, I read your blog earlier today and meant to send you a quick comment of support. Growing up, I had a terrible relationship with my mom, who passed away long before I was married and had children. It's funny (funny odd, not funny ha, ha) that it just doesn't matter all that much, all the strife and bullsh*t, when they go away. Be strong, find peace, forgive...no matter the outcome. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
