I have elected to tell my son to get treatment and be sober before we talk again.

[QUOTE="kennedyland, post: 593315, member: 16133"] I called him and left a message. He didn't/wouldn't respond. Yesterday was his birthday (29 years old) so I took a gift and card over to his house. He wasn't home so I left the gift in his mailbox. No response. My daughter, for her part, has unfriended my wife on Facebook. Years ago, when the kids were in middle school, we lived just four blocks from my ex. We found a house about three miles away and decided to move there. Well, the kids (and my ex) acted like we were moving to another country. It was all sadness and pouting. Although we bought a house big enough for each of them to have their own room, they never moved in with us although I had 50/50 joint custody. Now that they are 29 and 32 it's like deja vu. We're moving to the west coast for our retirement. Once again the act like we are abandoning them. I should point out that my daughter lives over 1,000 miles from here. They are blaming my wife (their stepmom) for the move. My son said I'm being "weak" among other more colorful descriptions of who and what I am. He also called my wife the "b" word. When my daughter called the other night and my wife answered she didn't say hello. She just said, "Is my dad there?" and wouldn't engage in a conversation. Wow, after all these years it is finally dawning on me that I am the father of two very spoiled children. Life sure is funny. [/QUOTE]
