Dear Jane,

I am very glad your son rang you. And that he didn’t ask for anything, but just to talk to you. That indeed is a breakthrough and a very promising development!

As Brandy said, by being a stable and trustful person in his life, while at the same time protecting your boundaries, you might have an effect on him in the long run. He might turn around.

It seems his partner isn’t a good influence on him, since she’s not allowing him to meet with you. Although interestingly, she encouraged him to call you… I guess you were right not to want to meet with him in secret. He needs to decide what he wants and clarify things with himself. I do hope he starts coming around, little by little, with your compassionate support from afar.
