[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

To clear up a couple of points. We have offered to pay for his airfare, but he hasn’t accepted. He is very independent and has never been willing to take money from us/others. He has a notebook of the 2-3 times we paid his rent during college (because he was broke). He keeps saying he wants to pay us back, but we haven’t let him because we don’t feel like he owes us anything.

I am able to fly to see him, we did do a big family trip to DC two years ago, and are currently planning another trip. However, thanks to a drunk driver, I have a significant amount of metal in my body that makes it hard to get through security. [/quote]

You are totally contradicting yourself. You posted originally, "For the record, my son can afford to fly out (and has admitted it), and if he couldn’t, we would absolutely help him financially." That is far different than what you post now- "we have offered to pay for his airfair". It sounds like you didn't really offer.

Your post is bizarre. He had to pay his own rent during college? You only paid his rent two or three times? And that is your crazy excuse for not visiting- you have metal in your body? It isn't that hard to get through with a doctor's note or you get patted down. But now you are planning a trip?

My bet now is that he is never going to fly back. [/quote]
