[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 18686, member: 10"] Hi, It is pretty difficult in these sad moments to see the ' window of opportunity '. Relationships improve quite dramatically when distance seperates them , the ' control ' element in relationships is not there anymore and people can relate more democratically, be open , be themselves without trying to manipulate. It leads to a more intimate relationships. With modern communications , Skype, email etc people can be and feel very close and intimate. I prefer email , write about how you feel , ask questions , get a dialog going , reach out to him , get him to ' speak'. I know from my experience that when kids leave home , study out of town , relationships improve - we tend to give up our ' control' attitudes and treat our kids as very close adult friends. I hope he is able to bond with his dad , feel understood and see him as a help. I hope you feel better about this , it says nothing bad about you , in fact it shows you are willing to do everything for your child to get the right help . Sending prayers and positive thoughts in your direction. Allan [/QUOTE]
