I'm losing my strength
Kermit -
Let him be an adult..If he doesn't want to call you, talk to you - then accept that is where he is today.
Do you want to make yourself feel worse? Then go ahead and do the drive by. You control the amount of pain you are in.
You need to ACCEPT reality as it is today and stop trying to control the situation by checking up on him.
Focus on you - get busy..Go scrub your bathroom with a toothbrush. (Trust me ..this has been given by many Alanon Sponsors to their sponsees to keep them busy)
This may seen kind of hard core (or hard a$$) but if he wants to do whatever he is going to do it.
My brother committed suicide 7 years ago..I dont' agree with it.but it was HIS Life and HIS choice to do as he pleases.

I agree with Denny:
Here's a hug for you ((((Kermit)))) since I know how hard it is to do nothing when you're worried about someone you love. As much as you'd like to, you can't save him from himself.
You can stop the chaos, Kermit. Let him live his life.
Well I didn't deive by haven't even tried to call.The worse thing that could happen is a officer at my door, but untill then I will live my life the best I can. I will worrie and I WILL love him. I'm scared but I will live my life. I went to back to school night for my son. I have soooooo much support there too. Even the princiable said that "I'm here for you as a friend" how awsome is that? I'm so overwhellmed happy, sad, GREATFUL yet scared for my AH. The love I have for this man is so strong that letting go is the hardest thing I have ever done. Thanks for checking up one me
Thankyou, I'm trying.... This is tough, still no word.Oh, I got Roofie's ashes today, we are going to give her a specail memorial this weekend. I hope this will help put closure on it for us. Man I miss her..........
Okay he called, same old ****.. man I hate it when you all are right....Oh but this time I waited. We are getting the area ready to give Riifie her memorial service. He said he would be here.. We will see. Thanks all. I'm also going to get to my meeting tomorrow I haven't been I a month or more.
Glad to hear that he is not hurt and you worst thoughts were not true.
Also glad to hear you stuck to it and did not call him.
You know Im not sure that I would invite him into the normal life (the pups funeral) cuz you said you will see if he shows. I dont know to me it seems that in inviting him you are rewarding bad behavior. He does not call, does not have contact with the kids even knowing that something happened that hurt them... yet at the last minute he comes in to "rescue" the day where the kids are concerned......
*shrugs* Im in a mood, not to worry Im going to a meeting tonight.
