[QUOTE="Suz, post: 92574, member: 29"] It happens. I expect there are some attachment issues but it happens with bio kids, too. This has been going on for a long time now and it must feel like you are beating your head against a wall. And you probably are...for now, at least. To be honest, I would let it rest for a few months. I know with Rob that the more I pushed, the more he withdrew. I would let Scott know the holidays without his family in it. I would follow his lead and if his lead is to do nothing, then I would also do nothing. I wouldn't make any grandstand plays- I expect you've already tried that and it didn't work anyway. So I would let him *feel* your absence for a few months to see if it triggers any feelings of missing you. And in the interim I would concentrate my efforts and attention and love on those at home who appreciate it. Suz [/QUOTE]
