[QUOTE="DDD, post: 587179, member: 35"] I have not had the "exact" circumstances but I have been close.....over a year of no contact from an adult who was my "pea in the pod". There was alot of emotional pain so I can relate. My advice (for what it is worth) is to pretend that everything is normal. Yeah, I know it isn't "normal" but I would not give him the satisfaction of "feeling your pain". If I were you I would not address your pain with any other family member. I would simply respond IF the subject comes up with something generic like "it's difficult right now for Johnny but, of course, I love him and wish him well." If I were you I would not keep trying to contact him. I absolutely would not let anyone know that it was painful for me. Then...I would hope that eventually he would "man up" and make contact with his Dad because he knows you love him. End of advice. BUT, lol, sending caring support to you. It's "kinda" like pursuing a sweet young thing when you are a young man...the more you push the less likely you are to get a date. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
