If you / Don't care for it

[AliSuddenly]

I reckon you need to get to your Mum and Dads and read the letter. He said on the IM that he meant what he said, so I think you need to know what the papers are?

I was amazed that he didnt say anything to you about your grandad when he passed away (he didnt respond did he?) and he didnt reply to your message about your graduation either, another big deal, not even to say well done (he didnt did he?) so he is not in a good place. He's not even being a caring friend to you. Maybe the distance would be a good thing? He wont be with her either and she will hassle him over the Skype thingy as usual?

Try and be his friend is all I can advise. He seems to feel guilty for doing this to you, by what he said on the IM. Maybe try and make him see its ok? Someone once told me that guilt is the enemy to them coming back to the R or something. So I have been careful to be cool about everything - thats why I thought today was a backslide. I texted him to say it was fine that he was spending time with his Mum. Can you try and say something to lift the pressure off him when you see him Tuesday? Its complicated isnt it, with this financial angle and him not wanting to deceive the army, or make money off the M. Its bad timing that he's being deployed again. How long is he away for?
