[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 109620"] Ok. Here is the email I'm sending to easy child. I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet cause I want some feedback. I know this seems really silly, but...I don't know...do you ever feel like you're so used to dealing with difficult child stuff that you don't know what to do with normal kid stuff? That plus my guilt over being sick and I really don't want to come across in a way that is going to put him on the defensive, but rather says that I am important, too, Know what I mean?? Plus, I'm on too many freaking medications to think clearly. Here it is: [i]Hi honey - I hope you're having a good time. It will be nice to be able to see all of your family. I wanted to tell you that I appreciate you telling me about the damage to my [item]. I know it seems like a small thing, but it was a gift and holds special, sentimental value to me. I don't often get attached to 'things', but this was a special item and made me smile everytime I saw it. It's what it represents as opposed to it's function that makes it special. I know you didn't mean to ruin it, but unfortunately the damage is bad. The weak spot goes all the way through and with one wrong move it's going to break. What I would like to do is keep it out of use so it doesn't break completely and have a replacement to remind me of the original. I have attached a link for you as it can only be purchased online. Maybe you could give the money to your dad or nana and ask them to put it on their card. <insert link> I will talk to you soon. Have a good time. I love you. Mom [/i] [/QUOTE]
