[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 674952, member: 3419"] He just called back and gave me a long speech about how angry he is, how detached from the family, and how much better he is doing without us. I told him that is a good thing, and what kids are supposed to do--go out on their own. Just not in this manner. And that in a few yrs he'll feel differently. He said no, he won't. I know better. (First of all, he called back from a cell phone. He wants no contact but he calls me twice in one day.:)) He also said that he carries a gun for safety. I asked him if he'd taken lessons and he said no. I told him he needed lessons, and to keep it away from his daughter. Nothing I can do about it. We wished one another Merry Christmas and that was it. So, I'm sitting here crying, but it is what it is. Going North and others who wanted this to happen, just thought I'd give you an update. I wish I had the energy to check out all of your notes but this is all I can handle right now. If he ever contacts us again when he's "straight," I'll come back to the board. But I suspect that will be several yrs from now and most of you will have left the board. Take care. [/QUOTE]
