Hi there, have you thought of sending cards to your son? That might be an easier way to communicate with your son at this time. I keep a box of cards on my desk and send a card out once in awhile. That makes me have to focus on what I say. I also think it's important to take care of yourself. Keep the rhythms of life going. Our kids are always watching us because we are still Mom. They still need us to be pillars. It helps them feel more stable when they see us being stable.

Thank you. Yes, good advice. I understand what you are saying and trying to be just that.

Unless your son is also homeless.

I guess you could still write the card out

Any time I've sent parcel or cards I'm accused with the words used "inappropriate behaviour" not once but several times. Which is bizarre when I'm acting normally as a mother. It must be projection but it's extremely hurtful when I'm doing all I can to stay connected with no reciprocated action 😢
