[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 713015, member: 13303"] I am so sorry for what you are going through with your son. My family has lived through something similar. Too much to rehash here and I don't want to hijack your thread, but click on my profile and read my posts if you are interested in our story. When we were estranged from our now 16 year old son, we had no idea how to answer the questions of well-meaning colleagues, friends, etc who would ask about his life, his grades, his plans, if he was dating anyone, if he had a part time job, etc. We knew none of those things so our choice was to either air that laundry very publicly or lie. We usually chose to lie. We don't talk to any but immediate family about the drama with my Difficult Stepson. It's just too heart and gut wrenching. So I definitely relate to that. Currently our situation has improved but is still not great. We are not formally estranged, he will occasionally deign to reply to a text or pick up his phone when my wife calls, but we still know next to nothing about his life, which to be honest, I think is probably for the best. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
