[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He lost my mom earlier this year. I call or kids facetime maybe four-five times a week. Or else have him over. Today he said we really need to call more, preferably between 8-9, when he fees loneliest. That is my wind down and kid bedtime. I said of course but now feel guilty and pressured.[/quote] I'd approach this two ways - 1) I'd call him. If my widowed dad specifically told me he felt lonely and a nightly call would help, I'd do it. Make it 10 minutes; and 2) do you have relatives or friends of his that you could enlist in a phone tree so it doesn't all fall on you? Over time it will be natural to pull back, but right now it sounds like he he needs some support.[/quote]
