I have 3 sons, now in their 30s. The middle one (who lives 250 miles away) is not responding to my phone calls and messages - saying he's too busy, he'll call back, but he never does. It's 2 months since I last spoke to him. Some time last year, I told him how unhappy this was making me and his reply was that he didn't want to talk more frequently as he didn't feel the need. It suited him if I didn't ring too often.
Am I being too demanding? I never phone/ text more frequently than twice a month. We haven't fallen out over anything - but he'll phone my husband (his stepfather) whenever he needs work/money/advice. (He used to work for DH until 2years ago and still does a little freelancing now and again) Last time he phoned DH was last week when DH and I were in the car together (which DH told him). He totally blanked me. Never even said "Hi Mum" . What would you do in my situation? PS I have good relationships with my other 2 sons.
