well, since I told my son now was not a good time to visit but I could pay for him to go elsewhere and not live with my sister, I've gotten only the briefest (if any) responses to my texts. I feel he ignores me unless he asking something from me. Maybe it is manipulation.

Just when the legal troubles were finally (after almost half a year) lifted from my shoulders (the Crown dropped most of the charges and the other one's I have to go through a diversion program and then they will be dropped)... just when i had a little breathing room my son is pressing me for something I am not comfortable with and then gives me the cold shoulder when I refuse.
