[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 740349, member: 15801"] Copa, So one thing I have been thinking about .... I sent what felt to me like a loving message to my son after he lost his job and he has not responded and is not contacting me. My impulse is to keep texting him trying to get him to respond. I am holding back. One thought I had is no matter how I meant my response to him I have no idea how he took it or how he interpreted what I said. For whatever reason he is needed separation from me and does not want more contact with me right now. My fear this is because he is relapsing but maybe it is just him needing to not feel so dependent on me... who knows. But maybe I just need to respect that and wait for him to contact me. So I am wondering the same about your son. He seems to be making it clear that for right now he does not want to connect with you. Who knows why that is true. My guess is it really has nothing to do with you and everything to do with his own issues... but maybe just backing off and waiting for him to respond (like you told me) is the best thing you can do.
