Long story short...
I spoke to Broc a few days ago. It was good to hear him and then he said "Daddy I want to see you" I told him I was very far away but i will see him very soon. He started to cry and said he didn't want to talk to me, and handed me back to Steph after saying I love you and I miss you very much.
Steph asked me why he handed the phone to her and why she was upset. At this point I was tearing up and a few escaped and were streaming down my cheak, and so I told her what he said and she said "Yeah it's been very hard on him. He says every weekend 'Daddy's going to pick me up. Daddy's coming to pick me up' Which must be even harder on you."
I didn't respond. I didn't really have anything nice to say to her. That just hurts me even more. And to think, the doesn't even have any clue that is mostly her doing that to him. She doesn't understand what him not talking to me does, even though she can obviously see it but just doesn't get it. I don't know. She says she is going to call me both Christmas Even and Christmas but then said she was going to try, and then changed her answer to either or.
Which is why I have decided to call him on Eve night and Christmas morning. Just to do it for her. Knowing her she'll be "too busy" or whatever. I am just not going to chance it.

Why would you not have anything nice to say to me? This is crap Matt. "I have decided to call him on Eve night and Christmas morning. Just to do it for her". It isn't my job to make sure you talk to your son. When we call, it is for Broc's benifit - obviously. And besides, if I don't call you....he wouldn't get to talk to you. You have made an effort to twice in the last 11 months. When you called Christmas day, we were trying to call you - and you know that because we were talking over IM. Lie to your friends and family all you want - just to put you on notice, we won't be calling anymore. You have a 1000 minute phone card, or so you say, then you can call him. His schedule has not changed, so you know it. He can talk anytime he is awake. As always, stay safe Matt. ~
