I have been asked this question twice in as number of days so I am going to answer it here. What do you do when someone, spouse or adult child is not sure about commitment to you or not sure about claiming you as a parent but you want to remain committed to that person?
Pretend you are a rock and the other person is also a rock. This rock moves, and rolls at whim while you stay in the same place year after year. Sometimes this rock comes close to you, sometimes it rolls in the other direction. Sometimes it stays away for days or weeks at a time before it comes back. Sometimes it just rolls around just outside your reach but always within sight. Your job as long as you are committed to this person is to stay in one place. Let the other person go and roll around as needed or desired but be there when the person comes back.
If you are having problems with your spouse or child and have more questions, feel free to contact me through my site at www.brighterdays.com.
