I failed :(

Total crazy confusing moment and I failed Sad

Police station called looking for SS's friend.  They got my # through the cell phone provider.  I forgot I had SS's phone on my plan and had no idea what they were talking about.  They said they were looking for a runaway and I freaked because I thought they were saying SS ran away (he didn't). 

She wanted to know SS's contact info so they could talk to him.  I gave his name (dumb me) and then realized that it was bad.  I told her that I had to call her back after I verified her info.  Good, right?  Bad for me because I didn't know any of her questions!  She wanted to know his address -- I didn't know it.  She wanted to know his mom's last name -- I didn't know it. 

Police woman said "you signed for a phone and you don't know how to find him?"  Embarrassed 

SO is away -- because of course he wouldn't be home for this.  I called my mom; I know it sounds silly but I was so upset that I didn't know what to do.  I didn't call SO because I didn't think he had phone reception.  She had the information because SO had sent her SS's school records for my mom to review.  While she was sending it to me, I got a hold of SO.  He called his son and figured out what was going on and then called the police station back. 

I didn't want to give the police his contact information without knowing if an adult was home. 

OMG.  I just feel like such a non-parental loser.  And SO was angry that I called my mom before him; I know it was wrong.  I feel like such an @ss because I didn't have any of the right infomation; when I did find the right info, I didn't know what to do; and I called my mom instead of SO.

    That sucks.  And why do you not know where SS lives or his Mom's LN, sorry but I find that weird...actually I want to say that when SD lived with her Mom I could drive to her house if I had to but would not have known the address but I knew her name.  But as for calling your Mom who you thought had the info when you thought SO was not available, he's being an a$$ if he is mad about it.

    I didn't know she had the information...  I called her because I panicked because I didn't know what to do.  This is just so NOT me.  I don't know if I will ever be able to get it.

    Get what? How to handle ones self in an emergency?

    I can't imagine not knowing those basic things about SS. However, I also can imagine the sheer panic and OMG terror if the police called questioning me about a runaway. It had to be very scary, especially if at first you thought it was SS.

    Im confused by this post... BUT - I can understand you not knowing your SSs address, etc.

    I have no clue what my SDs is... Her mom moves what seems like every other week.  The only address that we know (and use) is her grandmothers... Dont beat yourself up over there - especially if the BM has a history like ours. 

    I call my mom sometimes before DH too!! Just a daughter thing ;)
