SS 15th Birthday....

It is tomorrow (monday). DH did try to call him a few days ago , as planned on SS cell phone, but nothing came of it, DH just left him a message. Now of course my DH wants to talk to his son on his b-day, but it looks like he will have to call their home phone to get a hold of him. BM will love to hear DH's voice, I'm sure! I hope SS answers. DH is going to call early in the a.m. as in hope to catch SS before he heads off to school, and has a better shot at reaching him, and possibly BM will not be there.??? I really appreciate the effort he is putting into this, as to keep from opening up a "can of worms.....or verbal whoop-ass" from BM. It's his sons b-day, and I can't believe that what should be a simple phone call, requiers so much discussion, and planning.....and stress!! When DH was talking about this last night, I did not tell him this, but I felt an anxiety attack coming on. I have not had one of those in almost a year, and I kept control, and silently prayed. I feel disappointed in myself a little for even feeling like this....I NEED TO LET THIS GO! I have had alot on my plate lately , with my mother and father (dad still has not called my mom about his retiring, so no more CS for her), my bio sister dying, my son's autsim, the usual $$ stresses. I am full now!! I did not realize that the abuse we/I had to deal with before, is still haunting me. It makes me mad! I know I need to stop, and not let my mind race ahead of me, that this has the possibility of going smoothly, with no problems, and we can "keep our peace", my DH could really use a nice positive exchange with his son on his special day, as I know he can't handle anything but right now. I keep praying that the best will happen, not the worst.

I know what you mean, sometimes so much seems to hang on a phone call and the mood of the person who answers. I think your DH is brave to attempt this in the face of the recent rejection, but at least he can feel that he did the right thing. I almost wonder though, if calling SS's cell would be better, as at least then he would definitely get the message? if he didn't pick up.

Tell your DH to not let it get to him too bad though. Teens are so busy thinking about their own lives and world, he may not be as concerned about it as his dad?

My DH did call SS cell phone last night, no answer of course, but it was ringing this time insted of going to v-mail right off, when it did go, SS message was different, just his voice saying "hi", so this is proof that he is getting the messages on his phone. My DH did not call their home this a.m., but he took his cell to work today, and is going to call SS, on their home # at the time he will be coming home from school in hopes that he answers, and hopefully with no interfearence w/ BM (she should be at work.) I hope it goes well , I'm almost glad not to be "there", when he calls."~waiting on the world to change~"
