[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 497556"] I think it's great that he misses you and great that he wrote to say it. I think your response was perfect. And I would drop it for now. Tone is easily misinterpreted in an email. Maybe he was being snarky. Maybe he was trying to save face and is still in denial about his drug use. Maybe he doesn't want you to think the worst of him. Who knows? If you don't HEAR from him, I wouldn't be adverse to sending him an email in a few weeks or a month. Just a simple, "hi how are you, haven't heard from you in x, hope things are well. Things are well here, I've been busy at work, weather is lousy and I am looking forward to spring. (etc) Love mom" Set limits (which you did beautifully in your initial response!) but keep the lines of communication open. [/QUOTE]
