This book was crucial to my ability to stay positive that someday I would see my son again. Everyone has to follow their own path to trying to connect with a son or daughter that goes off the path to communicating . For me, I chose to always leave a text on special times like Easter, Christmas, their birthday. And as the years went by leave a voicemail I was thinking of them/ him. After 4 years we as of this year are celebrating Christmas together. Last summer he came to my new lake home. For my adult child it was more about how he was feeling about his life. A breakup , not feeling good about the degree he graduating in. And now he is in a career he is happy. He is feeling better about himself. This book gives you the tools, to keep focused on not the WHY it happened , but to focus on moving forward and just staying in touch. This book gives suggestions on how some people make it through months, or years, without that kid/ or adult child they love. We all Mae mistakes as parent's. Don't beat yourself up. Read this book. It helped me to keep focused on being positive... and kept me from sinking in a hole of depression. Most Sincerly a Mom that has been through this.
