H texts me often every day, starting with "Good Morning, Hope you slept good" as soon as he gets to work, then chats about anything & everything (except our R) throughout the day & evening (if he's not staying at his buddys house. If he stays the night there he is off the grid until morning). I rarely initiate a text, but respond to his anywhere from immediately to within a coupler of hours...should I continue responding to him in this way?
I respond with friendly chat, jokes, etc. He only has the one close friend at work in the new location. I figure remain his friend & confidant...one, because I enjoy talking to him & he IS my best friend...and two, because this might be a way back into his heart. Maybe he'll see WHO has stayed in touch & been a TRUE friends when it would be easier to turn away. Our son & daughter have both distanced from him despite my asking them not to, explaining how hard my life was not having a close/steady relationship with my own dad.
