thank you for helping me out, it gives me a little insight.
H last spoke with both sons just after Christmas, he has e-mailed twice since but both times the e-mails have focused on how they have upset him, he has said he loves them and misses them, but that's it. They have replied to each e-mail but he hasn't responded to anything they have said.
I can't even guess as to what is going on, I just don't know. My friends are astonished that I am not ringing him and asking him or his work or his family. I just know that if he really wanted to be in their lives that he would be. I have tried to keep him informed of how they were doing but he didn't respond so I gave that up, I have been silent for 6 months now, i haven't had contact with H, his family or any mutual friends, if H is recieving information about the lads he is really having to dig because he isn't getting it from anyone I know.
