About my support person/mentor, the last time I saw him in person was at a local mall where we went for a walk and coffee. That was before covid. When we were having coffee he started talking about a nudist river beach he had been to recently. I didn't know what to say so I said nothing. He went on for what seemed like an eternity and then asked me if I would like to go to the next nudist event that group was having.

I said no... that it was not for me. One thing that really stuck in my mind is that he never invited me to any other event before or since. Why did he pick a nudist event?

I found the whole thing really odd and possibly creepy. At that point I decided not to see him in person, but we have been texting back and forth in the years since then and I have found comfort in being able to communicate with him. He hasn't brought up nudist events since then. He did come out to my house one time since the nudist conversation to look at something I needed help with on the outside of my house. Nothing weird happened then.

Now I'm wondering if it is also time to stop texting with him. He finds what I am doing 'inexcusable'. He won't explain why he chose that word. He told me I had 'overmothered' my son and now was living with the consequences. He said if I keep getting involved with my son's problems that he will 'never grow up', and that I'm 'not doing him any favors' by trying to help him and that he 'needs to grow up'. The more I think about what he has been writing to me recently the more it grates on me. It doesn't feel like support. I'm wondering now what his motives are in being a mentor in AA to many people as well as myself, although I didn't meet him as part of AA and have never had a drinking problem. In fact, i don't drink at all.

I'm wondering what to do about this person. The easiest thing is to just stop sending him messages, but that will increase my isolation as we had been texting most days of the week and I don't have a good support network.
