I am trying not to let his reasonable response send me over the edge. He is a monster and acts like everything is okay. I would cut off my arms for my daughters and my H wouldnt even try MC. I am heart broken.




It's ok sweetie.

You wanted a reasonable response because this means Husband will support you in getting the therapies for your little girl. The reason the response was so reasonable, was because you carefully drafted, and it was edited with care by several posters, with the "hope" of getting your husband to agree with the therapies.

Now, Labug had you remove a little section that was not necessary to meet your "stated" goals in the letter (I really liked that little stinger at the end, but now see Labug was exactly correct). If that "blaming" sentence had remained, you may nor have got such a reasonable response.

So, what is the issue here? Probably the same issue I have with what you originally wrote about how your husband gives out his BIG advice on child rearing, and then walks out the door. All that I can imagine when I picture that image, is multiple ways to recycle the girls chewies, pacies, and sucky bottles.

Whenever you can score a touchdown with one of your perfectly written letters (edited by Dber's of course) don't get sad or mad, be glad & pat yourself on the back!

You did great! Now, don't you think it would be therapeutic, or, in the child's best interest, for her father to attend the sessions as well?
