Antonia, yes it was the strangeness of it all. He did not ask to speak to me, but to my son. And I agree, why is he calling, and why at my house. It is not like they are on the phone every two minutes.

I couldn't NOT know. Feels like games playing, but I think you are right, it must have taken some sort of courage - I might have answered!! Son very tight lipped as always on content of conversation and I do not interfere in the relationship or lack of between them. I did say very neutrally a few months back [to son] that I thought it might be good if they could mend some fences, to which he simply replied 'I can't let him get close so he can hurt me again like he has done'.
