[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 519177, member: 59"] You always have such wise and comforting words for me and I wish I could comfort you on this day of your son's birth. You did what I would have done too. You just can't stop those materal feelings especially on their birthday when all the memories of their birth come flooding back. I probably would have stopped after the first text, but you want so desperately some acknowledgement that he wishes things were different too. I think his not responding is actually a good thing because he wasn't ready to agree with you and at the same time he did not say anything that closed the door. I would rather hear nothing fro my difficult child than the hurtful things she says that can't be taken back. Give that kite string some more slack Sig, you pulled it in a little because you longed to have him back on this special day, but it's time to let it out again. Today is just a day, it will be over soon and the sadness that came with this day will be in the past. I try to remember that when I have expectations of a special day or holiday that doesn't turn out the way I hoped. I will try to remember that in the coming weeks with Easter and Mother's Day when we always spent the day together and this year she will be absent. His absence is no reflection on what a great mother and person you are. You have two other sons who know that. For now you and I have to embrace that. Nancy [/QUOTE]
