[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 49588, member: 1550"] Thanks, guys. Actually S. has always have tons of friends and still does. I believe that most of them now are with his church...of course. He has always been a bit eccentric. If not for his social skills (ability to make friends and charm people) I would wonder if he has Aspergers, but he's just too good at figuring out what people are all about for that. He does get focused--you're right. S. and his wife are not the needy types, either financially or emotionally and I doubt they'll turn to either family for any sort of support, but I hope one day we can have a relationship again. With his religion, I'm not so sure we can because we don't, for example, condemn people who get divorced (he thinks this is WRONG). Heck, sex before marriage is a lethal sin to him. I do believe he was a virgin when he married, as was his wife, who was 31 at the time. He abhors anyone who lives together without being married. Heck, if you swear or accidentally say "Oh God" you get the dirties look! He has a lot of extreme views that I will never have and can never pretend to have even for my son. I have four other kids to think about and they'll think I've blown a gasket if I pretend to share his beliefs. And I'm not a phony, so I couldn't pull it off. I guess I'll have to focus on the other four kids, and detach from this one, even if I think he is being brainwashed. At his age, I can't do anything. [/QUOTE]
