When my oldest son left the house, I knew that any contact I had with him directly would be rejected. So, I text messaged him every other day. Short things that required nothing from him. "I love you", "I'm thinking about you", "Hope all is well". That kind of thing. I didn't say for him to call me or contact me becuase that would have been too much pressure. I didn't mention specific things he had done because that would have made him defensive. I didn't hear from him for months but he knew that I was there and I cared. I was hurt, but I mostly wanted him to know that he was not alone.
