[QUOTE="Star*, post: 101059, member: 4964"] I can't think of a better group to HELP you write another letter to difficult child family - We're here if you need us. There are a number of ways to get your feelings across without putting so much emotion into it. As a matter of fact when you write a professional letter to a company you are supposed to do exactly what you did (write from your gut and get out all the emotional do do). Put the letter away and then a day or so later take that same letter out and CROSS OUT everything that says things like I think, I feel, YOU ARE....(all emotion) and you can usually end up with a pretty direct and to the point letter to send. Emotion really has no place in a letter except maybe a love letter. Also if you are asking them for help of any kind - don't. You can put things in the letter like : I am thankful I have my health because I those 10 miles I walk to work give me time to reflect on how much I'll appreciate a car if I ever get one. You can say: I was trying to explain to Bean how big our family is and he wasn't able to understand whom I was talking about because we don't see you as much as I wish we could, it sure would be nice if we started corresponding after the first of the year - I'd love for Bean to get to know our family and for you to know Bean - he's an AWESOME kid. Stuff like that. Just a thought - and the lecture won't come if it's worded properly. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
