[QUOTE="Be@peace, post: 766063, member: 33640"] Wow, everyone's story hits home so much. As I mentioned in a previous post, my "difficult" son died 8 years ago of a meth overdose. He was homeless and refused help from the County Mental Health people, one of whom really took him under his wing and went above and beyond the requirements of his job. Where I am having a bit of a problem detaching is with one of my grandsons (age 29). I didn't (don't) know what his reasons are for not wanting to get together. I have attempted to make arrangements to take him and is live-in girlfriend out to dinner or lunch at his convenience. Last Thanksgiving was when I realized he doesn't want to really get together. He never said so and his responses were all positive - just ignored offers to get together or cancelled. I sent him a text basically stating that the "door is always open but he has to walk through it" and that we love him and miss him. Haven't had any communication from him, not even a thank you for the Xmas check. What bothers me the most is not knowing what the problem(s) are. [/QUOTE]
