What? You never have to worry about pursuing your kids.
That's how I read it at first. I think he meant "trying to stay in touch with W while on 3 week trip. Is that pursuing?" I hope he meant that.

Why don't you let her know what YOU would like to do and then just see if she's available.

Yes,I am glad we did - thanks 25yearsmlc - your idea of talking to daughter about EE and more is good and will build closeness.
The pursuing question was more at am bugging my college age son by writing short daily messages? He may want or need space away from parents, especially given our difficulties. He sent a short note yesterday - seems fine but busy. Nothing from daughter, who is on a week long school field trip to Germany.

i agree, texting every day is great. Just keep your expectations reasonable, since they are teens. but i would suggest never question them on why they dont respond, dont make a big deal out of responding or not responding.
mix it up a little, sometimes just a quick hello, sometimes a quick story of something amazing you experienced, or a picture of someone/something. for instance a picture of something in boston, a landmark or a pint of boston beer or some odd-looking street character.

exactly. They are not "rejecting" you when they are quiet. They are just your kids getting messages from you. It reassures, no matter how they may roll their eyes or sigh. They still like it. And need it.
IT's not the same at all as a spouse
