My son called me last night I waas so excited<BR>to hear from him. He is still so very angry with<BR>the situation with me and his daddy. He needs<BR>counselling but will not seek any help at all. <BR>He has blamed me, his dad his sister everything<BR>that could possibly be. It really hurts me to see<BR>him this way. But I am absolutely thrilled at least <BR>that he is calling. He told me he wanted to <BR>change his last name because he was ashamed<BR>to hold this name. All I told him was that he <BR>really needed to discuss these matters with<BR>his dad, not me. I am so thrilled with how I <BR>handled the call. I didn't cut his dad down at<BR>all. I didn't even agree with him. I was just so'<BR>proud of myself!! <BR><P>------------------<BR><BR>Anita<BR>

I know things have been hard between you guys. You handled yourself great by remaining neutral. You did the right thing by deferring him back to dad to discuss certain issues. You have a lot on your plate right now... take care. Hope you're feeling better.
