[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 449916, member: 11235"] I agree- avoid the long, difficult letter. If you can't talk to her I would just send a brief message, kind of upbeat- "just wanted you to know we will be at this new address as of whatever date." Very to the point without all the emotion attached. That's the only way I can have any kind of useful communication with-my difficult child- very business-like and to the point. Otherwise it ends up with her guilt tripping me and me getting extremely angry and nothing is accomplished. Don't feel bad, you are doing what's best for you and your family. My difficult child is back in my house right now, but at one point she lived in another state and it was the healthiest I have felt in years. The distance was very good for me- I was able to be away from the daily chaos and stress and see things objectively. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
