[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 628712, member: 17635"] Hi Scent, Happy Father's Day to your husband from me, also. Both responses above are so great. I love the drum set idea and I hope Tish's words brought a smile to your face. Recovering nailed it.....why are YOU feeling guilty? You tried and your difficult child knew exactly what to say in just a few short words. (and, absolutely, it is exactly like what my difficult child would do). Are you and husband doing anything fun today? I sure hope so! I hope the weather is beautiful and you take a nice drive for ice cream or going to a movie if the weather is not beautiful. Why do we give Hallmark or television or any other outside fluff that has [B]nothing [/B]to do with our relationships whatsoever, the power to make us sad or resentful or add anything to how we are coping/moving forward? I know I do, but YOU need to stop! :rolleyes: husband and i went out for dinner last night and he asked, [I]Do you think I'll hear from gfg33 tomorrow? [/I]I was taken aback. It has been months and it would be the first Hallmark Day we would have heard from him. But, you know.....i can see gfg33 using today as a way to turn the knife.....thinking, [I]Aha, they will THINK it is a Father's Day message. This will definitely get their attention. Now, they'll get how really through with them I am. [/I](hoping we would grovel and apologize for not sending him $$). I feel much stronger today, thanks to responses from Tish and Recovering to you. Please, please have a great rest of the day and report back. You are such a source of wisdom for us. [/QUOTE]
