[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 740139, member: 15032"] I was super close to our youngest when he was, well, young. When he turned 15 and started his wrath, we were not close. At all. It seems like it happened overnight. I didn't really like him anymore. He wanted to be close as he got older though, in between his drug use and sober times. He calls me almost every day now and we talk for a half hour. Some days he cannot. He also messages me on Hangout a lot. He tells me to have a good day and that he loves me. Wow. He wants to be in MY life now. BAD. He has met a lot of people that have used drugs and have no family. Or there family doesn't want anything to do with them. They are sober but they are truly alone. Then my other son is 31. He is engaged. He loves me but he is private but I still feel we're pretty close - for him. He never gave me any problems. Always a great son. What I'm saying is don't write the end of the story. I agree with Elsi and reach out in little ways and let him know you love him. Maybe send him a card every so often. No money. Or take him to lunch or dinner. Not always just to let him know you are there. I think you should be thankful he has a father that will take him. He probably needs his dad more than you at this time in his life. Who's to say. [/QUOTE]
