Wise 25, what about S16? They don't want to see their Dad and S16 only answers texts occasionally from him and refused to see him earlier this week when he wanted to have dinner. What about that? I encouraged him to forgive his D for his own heart but should I "force" him to text his D about his life, hockey games, etc...

Now S18 said to his Dad "do not text me, call me, try to visit me" and told his D to "man up and take responsibility for his wife and son" and has had NO contact with his D at ALL. Says he has totally lost all respect for him. What about him?

Not that I can do a thing about them, just wondering which way to encourage or if I should drop it.

THANK YOU!
