Re: Want to know what you all are experiencing or have experienc
Hi RELLA,
welcome to iMSN, glad you found people who understand what you're going through.
we're long distance too (cleveland to boston) but have no kids.
something you said though concerned me: "i've given up trying".
i totally understand how hard it is to keep trying when you feel like you're not getting a lot back. i confess that i believe med school can make them a little selfish and the challenges with him not being able to call often must be terrible. at the same time though, if you've stopped trying, then he might be feeling like he can stop too. your posts sound like you really love him though so maybe it was just frustration but i wonder if you've said to him that you've stopped trying? or that you feel like he's not trying. i think for the sake of the kids, you need to put it all out there when he visits in March. can you send the kids away so you'll be alone for the weekend? i know it will be sad for your son not to see his father but repairing your relationship would be better for your son in the long run.
