[QUOTE="Holly10011, post: 724883, member: 20118"] Thanks very much. Thankfully I am feeling better. Ive distracted myself with my artwork, friends, and trying to see what I can do to help others that are in need during the holiday time . He just called for the first time opening with a very enthusiastic "How are you?" Im wondering why he's asking? - clearly he does not care - It appears that in spite of his behavior there is a conscience there. Which is better than not-yet it is not in any way enough to compensate . My response " I am ok - all is pretty quiet here, let me put your dad on the phone". In past we do 3 way but I had nothing more to say. In the end I overheard him say " tell mom goodbye" I think that he has major emotional issues (that is with his parents - yes a bully) yet others are always so impressed with how lovely he is . Now in my 60's I dont know how much time I have left. I don't really care to spend valuable time trying to challenge and or please him . I can put my head on my pillow each night and know that we gave it our all - A longshot - Pregnant at 41 hubby 51- Limited income with- very small apt. Many told us we were crazy. But I believed that all of that was not as important as allowing a child to feel loved and secure. He had a wonderful childhood and was an easy pleasure to raise until he left home for college. He has done quite well for himself and I feel that he just looks down on us for being old and not wealthy as many of his friends parents are.Whatever his issue is with us, Ive decided to let it go. Let is be HIS problem . Thank g-d I dont have to support him. When his bd rolls around Ill do the same he's done for me . A 2 word text. Happy Birthday. And is is lucky to get even that. Let him wonder why for the very first time he is not receiving more. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. Your kindness is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
