I would definitely reach out about the painting9pickture)

especially if a teen or young adult, forgot which you said. Was
at the office helping. Its very hard when your already down,
to have a fight with teens.

So it might be she would appreciate the opportunity to return
the painting. Without feeling she has to bring it up.

I can state for a fact, there were times when my oldest Danny. Was
with me I just let whatever happen. And dealt with the people later.
But it wasn't till he was 16, and some people reached out. And let
me know they realized he had lots of problems. And they made
sure I knew no one thought it was my parenting.

It meant the world to me. At a very dark moment, that someone reached
out to see if I was okay.

I am hoping the two of you work it out.
