Things haven't changed that much with me and the boy, really. I'm feeling better about giving him more space. I think he's actually found a little more time to talk to me, and during the time we've spent together he's managed to put aside the responsibilities that are draining on him. Patience, patience.

From Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet"

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but no into eachother's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Looks like your attitude toward the situation is paying dividends. Whoever said that patience is a virtue knew what he or she was talking about.
