[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 725190, member: 18958"] rn. i relate to everything you write. for me it is harder when there is hope. i do not have anger towards my son. i have rage. i cannot justify this but i understand it. it is better i stay at a dstance. i would try to take the same tack as you: keep it light. stay defended. personally. i would try to have an escape plan in place in case the visit goes south. i think that is within the possible range of outcomes. your son feels vulnerable. that is why he did not call i think. to not feel vulnerable. exposed. that may lend itself to ambivalent behavior. on the other hand it could go lovely. he could open. close to neutral without expectation is what i would strive for. honestly. i cannot do it. but i believe you can. good luck.
