My DS is now in his 3rd year at uni. He has never been great at communicating - most of the time will answer a call at the weekend but not always though seems to really enjoy being home in the holidays and participates well in family life then. I have worked out that he doesn't mind me visiting, say twice a term to take him out for a coffee (uni is only 45 minutes away so that works for me). However, sometimes he goes 3+ weeks not answering any communication at all (usually at times of stress). I just wanted to know if this is usual/normal or is it ok to feel in turn frantically worried/angry/like the worst mother in having brought up a son who thinks its ok to blank his mother for weeks?
