[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 629391, member: 17461"] I agree. You handled both calls well, Echo. This is a different time, you are responding differently, and so, nothing about this is going to feel right. I am happy for difficult child that, whatever his reason, he is in contact now with someone who can help him stabilize. If you are in the picture now Echo, the social worker will be looking for ways to reconcile difficult child and family because that is what difficult child wants. If you make it clear that you are not there for your son at this point, then the social worker will be more likely to steer difficult child in an independent direction. I thought Dist 99's idea to suggest to the social worker that she is welcome to phone or email, but that you are encouraging difficult child to take responsibility for his life himself was a good one. How hard this conversation must have been for you, Echo. You handled it well. Cedar [/QUOTE]
