Thanks you guys. I'm going to have to figure out how to talk about it very carefully. It's a real fine line, because he still has a tendancy to get a rebellious teenager attitude on such subjects. On the other hand, if he really hears the pain all of that caused me for so long, he will probably feel genuine remorse and choose to make an offering of changing old behavior.

Other update: Cell phone company guy called back and left a message that my old cell phone was disconnected in February. WHEW!
