hello, Coconut... i want to encourage you to not let your relationship with your son fall away... i have two sons--22 and 17 almost 18... my oldest son became a bit distant with me during his 18/19 - 21 years of age... but literally, since his 21st birthday, he has let me back in and we are closer than ever... maybe because for his 21st birthday he and i shared cognac and cigars--something i had told him we would do once he turned 21 (i had first made that promise to him when he was about 12)... whatever the case, there were times when i felt left out of my son's life during those transitioning-into-an-adult years, but i remained steadfast and consistent in his life, and he has let me back in, and it's beautiful... mis dos centavos...
