Thanks for your post. You have motivated me and another person on this site to go dark until January 15th, too. I am so glad that I read your thread. I have really looked at interaction between H and I over the last year and realize the only time I have seen any movement on H's part was when I had no contact with him. Once I made the decision not to even attempt to maintain a friendship with H, I felt lighter and happier.
Thanks again for planting the seed.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
