[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 618262, member: 17503"] I'm just now joining this post and find it interesting because so many of you do have what sounds like regular communication FROM your difficult child....mine NEVER contacts me...since he assaulted me on 12/21, he text me one time right after to find out what I was still going to pay for...he never sends a text or email just to check in...he's living with my parents (whom I'm not in communication with at all) so I know he's safe...I saw on another thread about how awful you can feel if you DON'T worry about that-- what kind of parent does that (was what the post said)? I really don't worry about his safety-- he doesn't use substances (yet and hopefully never) so I'm sure it'd be different if he did....and he lives by routine so I pretty much know his schedule any given day...if I want to think about it...I don't know that he's texted me in years unless he wanted something...can't think of a time...he's so self-centered, he never wants to know about me or my day, it's always about him and his troubles...I told him today (via email) that I'm not paying for his truck insurance anymore and haven't heard back...made me so nervous to tell him because if we had been in constant contact, I would have gotten repeated texts of how awful a mother I am...but today, nothing...if there's contact anymore, it's me contacting him and yet he's the reason for the status of our 'relationship' now...I guess I just wanted to say that I envy those of you who have at least some reaching out from your difficult child (when it's not wanting money)...maybe that's something I can hope for in the future...;-) [/QUOTE]
