[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 621685, member: 17503"] Well, by now, the old man has my reply but it is eerily quiet this week...I wrote difficult child an email the day I mailed the letter to warn him about it, explain that the conflict is with his grandparents and it's been a long one- not his fault...was a very nice, loving email apologizing for anything I was doing to put him in the middle and that I hoped we'd be able to reconnect soon...he texted me almost immediately to say he wanted to meet for breakfast either Sunday or Monday...he was to let me know late Saturday because of his work schedule and he did but cancelled...I heard from him Sunday night asking about his tax return-- that's all he texted-- 'did you claim me as a dependent on your taxes'? nothing else...no hi, no thanks when I responded...next time if he can't even start a message with a decent beginning, I'm not replying...I just don't understand what happened to my son...he's such a different person than he was raised to be...I've been feeling such 'serenity' about the issues with my father but now I'm awake worrying about it all...did father now forbid difficult child to talk to me? is that why the backing out? difficult child never said another thing about meeting up and I haven't raised it either...he knows how to find me and that I'm willing when he's ready...in the meantime, husband is so depressed he can barely function and the weather is not helping...geez, where is spring!?!...I realize I keep doing my best not to think about it and focus on other things (my kitchen walls are almost done then I'll have to think about it!)...but then on a night like tonight where I haven't heard from him and wondering what craziness is headed my way, it's hard to not lay awake worrying about it...there's not a thing I can do, I realize, to stop or control anything but the hurt just never seems to end or get better...you get so (at least I've gotten so) you can push the hurt away farther and find ways to avoid it... but as soon as it rises back up again, it's no less debilitating than the first time you experienced it...
