I try to email my child, too- to no avail...

When I have contact with him face to face, I ask why he hasn''t emailed and he says he just forgets to go online or when he does he just wants to surf the web and look at you tube or play games etc...

At other times, the ex refuses to allow him internet access as she changes the password and doesn''t tell him.

Keep trying- keep all evidence of your trying to contact them, after all, when they are older and they tell you that never tried to contact them, at least you will have this evidence to show them that YES, YOU DID.

I would continue to email them unless they ask for you not to. They may not be responsive at the moment but they will see you still care.

I am sorry for what you are going through.
I know it must be tough but keep up with the e-mails, letters etc.

Children can be selfish sometimes and what seems to us as a matter of life and death to them is something trivial ie. Why don;t you answer my e-mails? I am surfing on Google dad!!! ;-)

They still know you care and when the time is right they will respond to you. Anyway, they do know you love them and care for them enough to not stop.

And don''t mind your ex, children understand more than we give them credit for. If she sabotages your efforts for communicating with your kids, the time will come when they will find out.

As a mother of a 15 and nearly 11 year old if they wanted to contact you they would. Most children have mobile phones with web access, they get pocket money, go to shops, know how to read and write.

Teenagers are a law unto themselves at times. Can be quite selfish but they are also not stupid if they wanted something they would call. Mine choose not to because they simply cannot stand their father, it is not always the RP fault.
