Older daughter estranged herself from me, again, a few days ago, as she does regularly,

11. Yes, I'll be sending him a book,

Elmo, he's watched an Elmo video. Will send it in a few days. I'll do what I can to stay in his life, but she can be so mean and unpredictable, there are no guarantees. (I did buy his crib and dresser, room full of stuff I gave him.)

Right, she'll come around again, as she has in the past, and then play her game again. We'll see what happens down the road, how little Eddie responds over the years.

I doubt there will be peace between my daughters, given the older's illness. I hold the hand of the younger, and don't discuss the younger with the older who lies about the younger and the father's (who is deceased) opinion of the younger. Bad news.

Thanks.
