My Son, Where Are You?

I last spoke to my only son in 2016. I last saw him in person that same year. I am divorced. My marriage was a total fiasco. 

No matter how many times I text him a few words or a small video clip, I get no reply. The hardest thing for me is not knowing why he decided to part ways. How many here can relate to this situation?

I understand your situation. Hope things get better!

No, I don't. But I can guess it is difficult.

The hardest thing in all this mess is not knowing why my son feels the way he does about me or anyone related to me.

All I can do is let go and let God take over.

We all have the same opportunity to completely surrender to God and what He wants us to do.
