Asking Eric: Adult child may be too distant to be a part of parent’s wedding

Dear Eric: My 21-year-old child responds only sporadically to texts and phone calls, often going days or weeks without a response. They live across the country with their other parent during the summers and holidays.

When I get the chance to see them face to face, which is once a year if I am lucky, it is as if no time has passed and has the same warm, loving feeling it always had.
