Still very thoughtful about all of this.

There is a difference between offering my time though and repeatedly asking for things and getting nothing in return.
My son gets my time and my effort. I won't have him feeling like I did, no wondering, no unanswered questions. He gets letters and pictures and the things I promised in the OA agreement. Just because his parents don't do what they said they would doesn't mean I won't live up to my side. That said, I'm tired of having a bloody forehead from trying to communicate with them and make my needs known as well. One sided communication is tough, I think we can all agree on that.
That's my point, I won't continue to hurt myself by asking for things I know I won't get. That doesn't mean I can't do what I said I would though. Big difference.
