[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 539239, member: 11001"] Dear Nancy, I am so sorry for your dad's response to your lovely gesture of dinner. You even hunted him dowm! I am sure the heart ache is tough today. I hope you can consentrate the rest of your day on your husband. My dad and I have not been on speaking terms for awhile-over my difficult child as well. This is so common in our families. They just don't understand, and in my case, they want to keep me in my life long role as caregiver to the rest of the family-can't do it all since difficult child has been so much work. I am sorry about your sister as well-have a sister who is tough too. My only respite from these 2 people in my family has been to cut them off for periods of time. I let them make the choice to return and then I set limits-each time gets better but by the end, it still won't be health. Good for you not being a door mat and sending the email. I think we so often don't share our feeling with our family ,so nothing changes. It could go either way but, you have said your peice. The rest is up to him. ((((Hugd))) [/QUOTE]
