[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 752081, member: 17720"] Wise, that was beautiful. What a loving way to put things. I am saving your post for my dark moments. It’s a good question why we tolerate the name-calling and cruel words. I certainly used to, and felt like crap for a long time afterwards. I don’t anymore because I don’t communicate at all with him, but Hubs still does and will say it is because (a) he can’t stop hoping Son will “get it” one of these times and (b) he prefers that contact to no contact at all and the worry that goes with it. And truthfully I benefit from Hubs’ decision too; I’ve been in the spot of not knowing if Son is dead or alive, and that is not a fun place to be... I think the most important thing is to do whatever we can live with. That looks different for each of us. [/QUOTE]
