[QUOTE="witzend, post: 598870, member: 99"] Star - not sure - was that all for me? I'll do anything short of stand in front of a bus to get his attention? Hmmm... that doesn't sound like our situation at all. All that M gets from us is a cell phone. He [I]did[/I] call husband on Father's Day and me on Mother's Day, so we'll keep it going for a while until the contract is up. When it is we'll give him a few months notice that we won't be continuting it. I text him once every two or three months, and we hear from him when there is some major lifestyle change like a new appointment or his engagement. But, it's silly to pay for a phone forever. Mostly I'm concerned that he has invested all of his happiness - what little there is of it - in his fiance, and that if she leaves him he will fall to pieces. I was addressing that I can understand the frustrations we can have when our children want us to relive our rescue scenarios over and over again. We haven't done anything like that since before his suicide attempt in 2009, and that was just one night at a hotel until he could find a place to stay. But we're long done with any active roll in M's life choices. (I'm guessing you were writing to welcometowitsend?) [/QUOTE]
