[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 755684, member: 23405"] Beta, I have had both of my sons "go quiet" on me for long periods of time. Although, it's easier said than done, I would not draw on the worst case scenario just yet. To me I found it was another way they could "punish me" instead of the verbal abuse. Eventually, they each returned to communicating with me and this pattern has repeated itself multiple times. It has been six months since oldest son and I have communicated (other than one nasty voicemail before Christmas which I did not respond to). I have to trust he's gotten on his feet and made some changes to better his life. It isn't easy but try not to focus on all the bad possibilities. I don't know the future but my hunch is that even if your son does stay away for a while, I think he'll get back in touch with you at some point based on my past experiences. I know you will and are but continue to send prayers of healing his way. Remember God's timing is perfect so we have to hope and believe that even though we can't see any changes happening that something good is taking place on behalf of your son. It may be a very small change that one couldn't detect with the naked eye but I have to believe that all the small changes will lead to their betterment someday. Have hope and stay strong. [/QUOTE]
