[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630316, member: 17269"] alb, I honor that impulse. You want him to know you see the boy within, that you love that boy. You want him to'feel connected and cared for even at a distance. I have a couple of kids like that in my life, friends of my children. Some of them sorted things out..some did not. I agree that you can't use the facebook connection. Your difficult child might shut you down, or at a minimum feel spied on. As Child would say..wait a bit. See if you feel the urge tomorrow or the next day. If you do, then go ahead. If you can reach him another way, then do so. It seems like you feel moved or compelled to do it. Remember though that he may well be some one else's difficult child, and the special connection we feel with those young adults is, often, in our own hearts and minds only. they are busy being committed to Their own path. And last..don't transfer your need to rescue your difficult child to Some one else's difficult child. Sorry for the typos, i am stuck on my cellphone but wanted to support you and respond.
