[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 426531"] ski...I'm so sorry. I don't know your story...but know this kind of thing hurts. Your difficult child daughter probably didn't fully "get it" that a nice call and/or a home made card would have meant a lot. OR, there is more going on...like she has some guilt or is being passive aggressive (she is angry and is showing it by refusing to express herself up front and appropriately and therefore is expressing anger indirectly). Some time in the future, you might let her know (when the time is right) that if she can't afford a present, it would still mean a lot to you to get a nice call. In the mean time, what a blessing that you have a good friend that brought you the chocolates!!!!!!! Just so you know, we've had plenty of WEIRD and difficult holidays around here in the past a la difficult child "stuff." Mother's Day this year (knock on wood) was fine! Whew! [/QUOTE]
