[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 92524, member: 1835"] I tend to, morbid as it may seem, when in a difficult situation, try to picture myself at the end of my life, thinking back, with the goal of having no (or at least only a few...) regrets about choices I've made, particularly in regard to relationships which, in my opinion, is about the only thing in life that really matters much. I believe, in the face of a beloved child, adopted or otherwise, who is choosing to reject his family, I would find a way to remind him, once and for all, what family means. I would go through all my photos and select some special ones, particularly shots of him with you all, and make an album including text and little momentos, if you have them, that tells the story of his childhood as part of your family. I would also add a note telling him that you'll be there if and when he ever feels the need to reconnect. This might also remind his wife of who he is... [/QUOTE]
