Sorry, i didnt make myself clear when I posted. I didnt call her, my son did and I did get on the phone and she was still on.

I overheard her say that she wasnt going to let son come over and thats when I asked son if I could talk to mom. I was calm throughout convo, but I was upset inside that she didnt want to see him tonight,

And yes, driving by was a fleeting thought, was NOT and DID NOT do it. I wasnt trying to make her feel guilty. I am really concerned about my sons well being and self esteem. I wanted to let her know that he wanted to see her tonight and I thought she would have been happy about that given the nature of their strained relationship.

She had an opportunity to make strides to mend that but missed it and actually made it worse.

He seemed lethargic and wanted to go to sleep. I crawled into bed with him for awhile and usually he doesnt want me to claiming he is told old for this now.

But he let me rub his backa and tassle his hair. I think that he craved some love and attention tonight and thats why he let me do this when he is now at the stage of being, TOO manly to let his dad show affection like we used to.

IN my opinion, I did follow 25's post to the letter to my wife. I assured her that I didnt want her to feel guilty, that wasnt my intent. JUst my genuine concern for our oldest son.

Thanks for the follow up thought Bay.
