[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 506556"] Sig, Is he living over there now? Do you know how much contact they have with him at this point? I am trying to think how I would react if I got that letter from my daughters boyfriends parents. (My dtr doesn't have a boyfriend but you know what I mean). Is his girlfriend a difficult child or is she basically a good girl.. and what kind of relationship does she have with her parents. So my reaction would be I would be concerned first and foremost for my daughter. That would be my first priority. I am not sure what I would do, I think I would call you.... but given that I have a good relationship with my daughter I think I would first talk to her about it... and my reaction might be based on how she reacted. She of course would be swayed by her boyfriend and I would know that. I think that given that the letter was written to me that I would respond but I could see many parents not responding if their daughters made an issue of it. I also could see not wanting at all to get in the middle of the decision to support him, or not support him at school. That is really between you and him. Remember they are also probably hearing his version of the story which I am sure is very different than yours... and he is on his best behavior over there too. Given that they have not responded to your phone calls I might send another very short email, just saying something. Are you in touch with difficult child? I am concerned about him and am wondering how he is. and leave it at that. I feel for you. I know how hard this is. TL [/QUOTE]
