[QUOTE="marlboro, post: 729192, member: 22857"] I wasn’t really looking for therapist. I have intimate knowledge of what they do after DOING IT MYSELF for 33 years. I was just commenting that its difficult for an older parent to be seeing a therapist who is actually younger than their children. I had a boss one time near my retirement, who would say my name in exactly the same tone that you would say “Dad”. He was about 1/2 half my age at the time. My wife may yet go somewhere. Any technique a therapist could use, I can and do use myself. Onward.... I guess we are not going to get an invite for the grand kid's 2nd birthday. Of course my son, did tell his mother never to contact him again until he said so. But he will forget he said that, and then call us three days from the birthday and ask use when we will arrive. Of course, to do that we would need to get the car ready for a 22 hour trip, make reservations for two motels along the way, get house coverage for our cat, make arrangements to stay in a motel where he lives since he has no room in his house for us, and pack. When we tell him that its not enough advance notice for us, we will get another round of “you never loved me-you don't love your grandson---followed by another, “never contact me again until I say you can because you are just plain toxic to my health.” AND THEN....of course we will have a similar disgusting email from our daughter who flies out twice a month to see the nephew---at about $12,000 a year. Mark my word..... I am. In a macabre way, I find it vague humorous. It would make another great episode of “SHAMELESS”. [/QUOTE]
