Hi! my parents are divorced so I never see my dad. so I emailed him at beginning of summer and he never emailed me back...but he had emailed me first. and I just started highschool so i wanted him to know that...and so my mom called him and we wound up emailing each other at the same time and I wrote a pretty long letter including stuff about how my classes are hard everything feels stressed, my guy friend who is a year older then me came out as homosexual while I was still in middle school my math teacher is mean and my friends are going all over the place. then i realised he sent me a picture of my grandma and Grandaddy when they were young, so I wrote saying I liked the picture. then i realised he had wrote me an email saying that throughout highschool people picked on him he was depressed, and didn't really get along with people and he had a select few friends. like me...so i wrote him back. then I realised he said he would like me to visit at grandmas. so I said I would like to...a whole lot of stuff to deal with. do you think my email to him was too long...??? I'm always worried about people's reactions to things and stuff...

I'm sure your e-mail was fine!

I love getting long e-mails from my 14 year old (although he does live with me.)

That is a concern. Some e-mail systems can be set up so you are notified when the e-mail is opened. I wonder is you could ask the gurus in the computer forum how this works. Then you would know for sure if he's getting your mail or not.

Do you ever call him? Could you ask?
