[QUOTE="katya02, post: 397288, member: 2884"] I also find that my difficult child 1 tends to be very uncommunicative. I usually don't get a call from him unless there's something he needs me to do; when I call him, he often doesn't pick up and may call me back or text me hours later or not at all. We invite him to dinner and a movie and he tells us tonight isn't good, maybe sometime next week! And we know he's sitting at home, unemployed and nothing else going on. He seems to need to be in touch on his schedule and his terms. Sometimes he feels a lot of need and is in touch a lot for a few days at a time. We just go with the flow and try to keep tabs enough to figure out if something bad is brewing with him. All this to say - I think your instincts are good, and leaving some of the effort to him is a good plan. I'm sorry for your pain, though, and I sympathize. [/QUOTE]
