[QUOTE="nlj, post: 632759, member: 17650"] And, as you say, he's 25 so you shouldn't have any control over that anyway. I had a bit of an update myself today, via texts: (This was hot on the heels of another text asking for socks and saying he was ill and trying to weatherproof his treehouse) him: "Hey, need a break from the commune, going to travel around a bit, then maybe we could meet up or I could come stay for a few days, don't worry, love x" me: "Hey, I don't worry any more. We'll be away on holiday soon and won't be back until Sept 1st. Call you when I'm back and maybe we can meet up then. love x" Isn't it great that I can text "I don't worry any more" with honesty? We're off to the west coast of Ireland soon, one of the most magical places on Earth in my opinion, for my annual fix of wild beaches, friendly pubs, live music and general chilling out. No way am I going to spend any of that time worrying about my son. I'm taking my tools and toolbox with me, packing it right alongside my books and knitting. Maybe he can come and stay for a few days when we get back, but at a date that suits me, not just when he's 'in need of a break' and it suits him. Sorry to hi-jack your thread :( [/QUOTE]
