Dear best friend,

Happy Birthday to your son! Yay! Hope it was a great day!! I know you'll be celebrating more today with the water park! That sounds so fun. You're a great momma! I wish you the best day, my dear!

You are smart and mature to let them just talk and say nothing, I like your response of “no comment”. Logic and facts and simple requests are denied by them. But boundaries are another thing. Raven does not respect me or my boundaries. I tell them to give me space and they smother me. Ugh. Just a few more weeks.... I keep telling myself this. But it feels like a warped hell. I'll follow your advice and definitely be careful, thank you so much.

Love you and have a wonderfully fun & safe day!!

Love,

Melissa
