I'd like to hear more from Dylan's friends that he was supposed to meet. Dad lives where Dylan has lived most of his life, right? Or close-by? It seems to me that most of Dylan's friends who were interviewed said that they believe Dylan hitched and met with foul play, right? None of them mentioned Dylan fighting with his dad, or not wanting to visit his dad, or being afraid of Dylan's dad, or Dylan just wanting to stay with his mother. I would imagine that at least one of these friends that Dylan kept in contact with would mention something going on with Dylan or give us an insight into how DYLAN actually felt about the whole visitation/divorce situation rather than how it is viewed from mom's side or dad's side.
If anything ever happens to my kiddos or I, I'm pretty certain y'all would hang my DH out to dry. He is NOT a public speaker. He uses atrocious grammar. He uses past tense verbs for everything, even in conversations about live people sitting right in front of him. Not because he's unintelligent, but because he was raised without parents and the few people who were supportive in his life talk just like that. He owns his own business, and provides well for our family, but he also works in an industry that couldn't care less about grammar. I can barely stand to hear him talk to any of his work buddies! He's better around me because I correct every.single.thing he says. Not to undermine his status as a parent, but because I don't want our children to pick up the same habits, and he understands and agrees with this. He's not overly emotional, and in a crisis, tries to think more logically and quietly fixes things instead of panicking... which is usually my job, even though I am a nurse. I can think logically and be calm all day long over a stranger's situation, but when it comes to MY kids, I can escalate quickly. I worked 3p-11p for years before I quit to be a SAHM. My husband is an early to bed, early to rise kinda person, and he sleeps like a brick in cement for the first few hours he lays down. My mother used to have a FIT because he didn't know when or if I came home from work at night. He would have noticed when he got up around 4-5am, but he didn't stay up until midnight every night to check. Had I ever not made it home, he probably wouldn't have reported me missing until morning, and knowing him, he would have driven up and down the highway three times before he actually called 911. I KNOW he would have called my mama, who lives a state away and couldn't help with anything, before he called 911. She would probably have to tell him to!
To most of us here, that isn't normal. But then, most of us here at WS are different people than a good bit of the population. We might all be different, but there is a common bond in the way we all think, communicate, and well, are interested in crimes, etc. that makes us unique. For instance, my husband would never, and will never, sign up and participate in an internet forum. Not gonna happen. He's got an email address. And an iPhone. That's all he can handle. lol I have a feeling that MR might very well be the opposite kind of person than "us." We just can't compare what we would do, say, or think to just any kind of person out there, because we are very different minded thinkers.
By the way, my husband would never, ever hurt us. I've been married to him for 14 years, together 18 years, and I think he's raised his voice to me.......maybe 3 times? And that's just because I was yelling to loud to hear what he said. lol But I do know that if, Heaven forbid, he was ever in the kind of situation MR is, or lots of other family members of missing people have been, his words, thoughts, and actions would seem odd. I know this is kinda OT, but I just wanted to share my thoughts. I am not defending or condemning anyone's actions or words.
Dylan, I'm praying you are safe out there, little buddy. Come home.
