[quote=Anonymous]I am someone who sort of dreads texts generally because they usually come during work and it stresses me out responding, forgetting to respond... I find that using Facebook messenger (I don't actually use Facebook at all or have it, just messenger) for communication with my parents feels a lot more relaxed: I will sometimes just send them a random pic of the garden or a pet or forward something dcs sent, just ask casually how they are, what they are up to... I do that many days throughout the week and it feels more relaxed and on my terms when it comes to response time as well. Anyway, just to say maybe you need to rethink communication so it works for you as well and is more on your terms. I find my initiating it frequently helps a lot. As for calls, we have a set time, Sunday 10 am for a long conversation.[/quote]
