I choose to not maintain any relationship with you because I feel it is best for me.
You do not actually have to sit there and nod and smile. They will love you no matter what. Perhaps discussing these issues with them would really help your relationship with them.
Love the reply Michelle and compleatly agree. I had a suggestion re the emotional and mental health thing and the bit in green I just question as it is a bit telling him what to do etc etc but I think that email is fab and quite the right thing to do to send it and close the matter.
It is up to his mother and sister as to whether they have a relationshio with you or not and nothing to do with him. He is a big boy and made his own decisions.
Honestly, these boys! *rolls my eyes*
Sorry about the typos, why do all hostels have sticky keyboards>!
It's okay. I totally appreciate the input. I think I will talk more about choices, mine specifically to limit his defensiveness, and I love your point that they also choose to maintain a R with me.
About the last bit, it is definitely a bit of telling him what to do. But frankly, since I don't care to maintain a R with him, I don't care if he doesn't like it. They won't call him on it, and if my saying something that gets him pissed off and thinking actually pushes him to develop a better relationship with his family then that would be a great side effect.
