I do have to keep reminding myself not to take things they say personally.

I do sometimes think about how different expectations are about communication are now from what they were 30-40 years ago.
Back then, even calling between different suburbs could be a long distance call, and I don’t think parents expected to hear from their kids nearly as much as what is considered normal now.
My step-daughter - a perfectly “normal” 30-something doesn’t communicate with us frequently - that’s just the way she is.

Thanks, Vallpen. I need to think of it that way. I guess it is just my generation. We were the beginning of the helicopter parents I think. I am 54 and just need to let it go. I just worry too much about him. No news is good news is what I need to tell myself.
