O.K. I've decided to ask The Barista's to help me solve a puzzling question" Why does an adult child suddenly stop communicating with their parents and siblings?" I am honestly trying to come up with answers. There was no abuse in childhood. We have a large supportive family. We are not rich, but manage to supply extra's that where asked for, that was within reason. We tought our children to be self sufficent, independent, which I believe parents are supposed to do for their children, but we didn't teach this adult to be cold, non-communicating,non-loving. That's NOT what our family is about........Puzzled in Gator Nation!!!!!!

P.S. if this is embarassing to a certain Barister...then I am sorry, but I WILL NOT GIVE UP reaching out to my prodigal child.
