She forwarded another email where the officials responded "MS. CTH and Mr. CTH."

I am guessing she just doesn't see that as insensitive. I sent her an email saying that. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I did it anyway.


I don't understand how that is insensitive. How else could they address both of you?

I would try to spin the positive for her rather than the negative. Help her to see that she is fortunate to still have two loving, involved parents, and while she may not have a big house she does still have a house. Maybe taking her to volunteer in a shelter so she sees that there are so many less fortunate kids.
