As some of you may recall, our daughter, difficult child 1, stopped speaking to us at Christmas time last year (but not before she cashed a $350 check we sent her for Christmas). She has since moved and refused to provide us her address. Prior to her moving, we did send her a $50 check for her birthday in March which she also cashed.
Her main problem is with me. She has this vision of what a perfect mother is and I have fallen short of that vision (as any mother would - her vision is so far out there it's almost delusional). She has had several email conversations with husband telling him how awful I am.
So my husband and I have a dilemma. We have her email address. Do we send her an email trying to get her address to send Christmas presents-and other communication-or do we let it go. We are certainly not going to send her $350 again. I'm going to discuss this with my therapist but I thought you wise warriors would have some advice.
