[QUOTE="Steely, post: 169299, member: 3301"] Thanks guys. Interestingly, today is Thursday and Matt has not bothered to call his dad as promised. Part of me thinks he should keep his commitment, but most of me just thinks I should stay out of it. I told him yesterday that his dad left a message on the other phone. And Matt said, yea, but he told me he would call me on my cell to set up Thursday, and he never has, so I'm not going. Hmmmm.....Again, I will just stay out of it. I think Matt is trying to hold his dad completely accountable, something that will never work. But that is OK, as long as Matt is OK with the reality that creates. I guess my other concern is that Matt is just so depressed lately. It is hard for me to tell if he is just completely engulfed in his depression and not wanting to do anything because of it - or if he is really trying to be healthy in this situation. [/QUOTE]
