[QUOTE="Suz, post: 69237, member: 29"] I agree with Skeeter about writing the letter for your benefit at least. We wish so much that our kids hear us but until they are ready, they don't. I know when Rob went away I wrote many letters and never mailed them. I allowed myself the luxury of writing about my angry feelings and sad feelings and I lectured him and said "I told you so"... then I edited... and revised ad infinitum... and ultimately deleted them. The downside of putting thoughts on paper and sending them is that you can't take them back later if you want to. I didn't want Rob to have something concrete he could wave in my face and I'm glad I made that decision. I doubt if Cory is ready to hear you whether it's in writing, in person, or on the phone. So if you want to write something, do it for you, Janet, not for him and then rip it up. Let him stew for awhile- this is a phase he needs to go through. Allowing him to sit, stew, and think without your guidance, is a gift you are giving him even though I'm sure he doesn't know or appreciate it now. Suz [/QUOTE]
