[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 516044"] Truth be told - Prima's words upset me a bit too and I chose not to post because I wanted to cool down a bit. I am going to believe it was poor wording and I will leave it at that. Good intentions, poor communication. But the real reason I came back to post is that I have decided (TA DA!!) that it's a bad idea to send them. Take it for what it's worth. But I stewed on it and that's my advice. (see, I obsess about my own difficult child and yours too - what are friends for?) Making a collage of pictures and the past with words of inspiration is right up my alley. Totally something I really long to do. Thought about it while difficult child was home. Heck, I wish someone would do it for me. So, I am with you on that sister. But, he may not be in the right place to receive it in the spirit in which it was given. And if he's not, his response (or if he ignores it) will bring you to your knees. been there done that So, for now - I say skip it. You are taking a huge leap of faith by doing it - you'll pour your heart into it - and it is too much risk to your battered heart. I am sorry if I am sounding OTT. FWIW, I am the woman who hemmed and hawed over texting my own difficult child a simple "goodnight". And when he did not respond, I wept. When I awoke the next morning, I checked my phone asap. Nada and now I wish I hadn't put myself out there. I opened the door (just a wee crack) and got pain. Pathetic me. So don't dial pain should be expanded to "don't mail pain", "don't text pain"... I have no answers but lots of hugs.:dont_know: [/QUOTE]
