I never thought of it before. I alway meant “bless you” from the bottom of my heart as a comment of acceptance and peace. I never thought of how my words could be misinterpreted.

I would tell you that my heart breaks for your situation, and that I can’t imagine all that you are going through, or that your love for your son is a testament, but please don’t take that the wrong way.

Most of us, honestly, mean well. I always thought that being ignored would be worse. I’ll think about this next time I want to interact.
