I also just had a tough conversation with my S22. He was cleaning out his car and left a bunch of stuff on the workbench by the backdoor. I tidied it into a pile and found a journal. I read it, and it made me cry. And of course he drove up and caught me. He wasn't mad. I asked him about some stuff in it. He wants to stay with me, he wants to go to yoga with me, he wants to have a family game night once a week. I talked to him and all he could say was he feels connected to me, but totally disconnected to his dad.
And now I'm crying again. Nothing will ever be the same. Boys should have a relationship with their fathers. But I can't fix or change any of this. It is up to him to talk to his sons. He was gone a whole week and didn't text or call either boy. He returned a call from S27 and sent a text to S22 for when he wanted picked up at the airport. That is it.
Oh well, off to finish a quilt. Maybe I should sew my mouth shut? I am in a mood!
