Living in the Gray

[Accuray]

You're a great mother -- his anxiety disorder must be very challenging for you. I agree you did the right thing by floating it out there and I understand why you were stung when he didn't respond -- that's rude and dismissive.

On the other hand, you know that not responding is his thing, so you'll need to navigate to a place where you expect no response -- float it out there then let it go. That's all you can do, but it does suck and it's not normal. Their father should respond to messages concerning their well being.

W still does that to me. I text her that I will be home late from work. No response. Did she get it? Who knows. If I need a response I have to call, otherwise just let it float in the wind.
