[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 522917"] TL -I really like you. And I am going to say this with the deepest love... He's not sweating it and neither should you. You got his text & began to fret and look for solutions. Your best bet to solve his problem is his grandparents except that HE DOESN'T REALLY LIKE THEM AND IT WOULD BE A STRETCH FOR HIM?? Really?? Accepting a favor that solved his transportation issue may be problematic for him??? And while you fretted and tried to solve it, he was happily texting his girlfriend... I don't mean to be harsh and I know I would likely do the same in your shoes. No judgment here. But I think detaching means detaching. He has the bear the brunt of his decisions. I know you are worried. I am too. But sometimes reassuring ourselves by kicking the can forward does more harm than good. I don't have the answers but if detachment is your goal, calling gramma & grandpa works against it. {{{{hugs}}}}} [/QUOTE]
