[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 118126, member: 1587"] Carolanne, I am so sorry for your hurting heart. [img]:frown:[/img] Sending you many gentle hugs. Perhaps an email in return reinforcing the fact that you love your difficult child and the baby, and this turn of events was a total shock but that you and husband will love your difficult child and the baby no matter what decision is made. No explanations, no long sad heartbroken email (although I know how hard that will be). [img]:frown:[/img] I know with my difficult child part of the pleasure he seemed to get was the reaction I would give. When I gave no reaction it was almost like he didn't know what to do. It will also put it right on your difficult child because she will not have the words you may say to take as an excuse for not taking responsibility for her decision. She will not be able to blame you or your husband. If this is the decision that your difficult child has made then there really isn't anything that can be done but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that in some small way your sister knows your heart and it may open doors. cc: yourself on the email so that you get a copy too. I may be way off the wall here, and forgive me if I am, but if this is a manipulation by your difficult child, you can choose not to be manipulated...doesn't mean the pain will go away but it does mean that your difficult child will be left to stand with whatever decision is made and believe me...my difficult child has made some doozies. [img]:bag:[/img] My heart hurts for your others kds. [img]:frown:[/img] Our difficult children leave so many broken hearts in their paths. [img]:frown:[/img] More gentle hugs... [/QUOTE]
