[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 632301, member: 13542"] Interesting. My first response is suspicion. And, he is 33 years old, it seems odd that his girlfriend would write and not him. It sounds like a prelude to a request for 'something' I agree. If I remember correctly, she is a therapist. I would make my response very brief as you've outlined, I think your response is a good one. After all, this is after 6 months of no contact, his choice, after giving you a rash of bad behavior. Seems to me an apology may be in order for you to truly begin to entertain the idea of trusting anything he says. If that came forth, I would feel differently, but this third party email seems inappropriate from her, either she is a major enabler or he is behind all of it as the prerequisite to ask for something. It sounds fishy. Just my two cents. After so many years of bad behavior from our kids it's so difficult to trust anything they say isn't it? Trust is earned and trust will take time to rebuild.
