[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 491316, member: 1514"] I think it is a very common thing for kids...adult kids to start that pulling away process. I know I didnt call my parents as much as I should have. I have huge regrets now. I should have called my dad more but life got in the way. But then again the phone lines go both ways. He could have picked up that phone and called me too. My stepmom read me the riot act one year...maybe 10 years ago about how I needed to call my dad more often. I was probably calling him once every 2 or 3 months but at that time I still had my mom at home, I had just quit my job, I was not in good health...it was pretty chaotic here. I did start trying. It is hard to remember to call someone on a monthly basis when I had crisis on top of crisis happening in my day to day life. Sometimes I called him twice a month, sometimes I called him monthly, sometimes I went two months without calling. It all depended. But I still say he could have called me too. It shouldnt have all fallen on me to have been the dutiful daughter to call. [/QUOTE]
