[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 505298, member: 9175"] I haven't read the book, so forgive me if I am possibly misreading the intention of the letter. I also realize that every situation is different and, God knows, difficult children can be volatile and unpredictable. When I said a letter could be healing, I did not mean that it would heal everyone (although it could, in time), and I didn't see a letter - in this situation - as a way to get through to someone or to change their thinking or their behavior. But I do see that writing a letter in a loving and non-judgemental way could help the writer to heal...and it could help the recipient to heal ... even if it's not right away. The key is to not explain, blame or expect any result. It isn't for everyone, I realize, but there are circumstances .. in the proper time in your life .. where it might be a good idea. Dash [/QUOTE]
