[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 498197, member: 9175"] Sorry, Nancy, didn't mean to be cryptic. "Crickets" is silence, meaning she never called. Also, right before this (about five days), I'd called and she answered with "Hey mom, I'm just leaving for work. I get off at 8. Can I call you then?" I said "sure". We hung up and she didn't call ... so this is two times in a row. Hearts, I like your method of calling her on it. It's non-confrontatlonal but it also says what needs to be said. I'm still walking the line on this one. I've tried reaching out so many times. ...it's not that I'm keeping score, I just can't tell if she's trying to tell me - through her non-response - to back off or if she's sliding down into a dark hole. She hasn't been posting on FB at all (or if she is, she's doing "custom" posts that exclude me). [/QUOTE]
