Thank you all for following my thread and offering some support and feedback. Some stings but can’t be worse that D and cheeseless tunnels.

***Can anyone help with a validating reply?*** Here’s the set up. Last night I was at the house visiting the kids, the trash and recycling were overflowing so I took them out. There were a couple of things on top of the bins so I went to move them, one was a coffee mug and I fumbled, dropped it, and it broke. I emailed her last night letting her know, apologizing, and telling her I'd be more careful. Part of her reply was in regards to the mug, part was a 'thank you' for the gifts from the kids (DB instructions).

HINT- this isn't a new dynamic. She has been self righteous/angry for a few years now. I remember she had a crock-pot on the stove and I accidentally burned the knob while cooking pancakes once and she used that to viciously conclude I was insensitive and didn't care about anything but myself. Here are the two replies:

1) I won't lie, that mug had meaning. It's from the edible arrangement fruit thing XXXXX's mom sent me when I was in the hospital with D7 for her surgery and was my favorite. Accident yes, but ouch. Just put bags out the door or don't take them out. If I break something meaningful to me it's one thing. Someone else is another. Sorry this is prob harsh but direct and honest.

That being said, thank you for getting things for me from the kids. Not needed but they were happy to give me something not home made although their home made stuff means more than they will ever know.

2) Same mug is on ebay. Please get the same one because of the meaning or I will just order it myself.
