Thank you. This is new territory for me. I have always been the one to reach out to my son, and often got no reply. I always made excuses for him...he's busy, he works so hard, I am just glad he has his own full life...all the rest. The truth is, he is an adult, and he is responsible for half of this relationship. I won't make excuses anymore, and I won't kid myself. I suppose when it makes sense, I will reach out, and until then, I don't expect to hear from him at all. I see what he doesn't want to admit, and that makes me someone he'd rather not interact with I think.
So very different when it is your child...I so agree.
