[QUOTE="busywend, post: 425435, member: 391"] Patience, Patience, Patience. Do not hold any grudges about the past. Use this time to heal from all the hurts over the years. Start fresh for you. I am going to bet within a couple years she will bring the relationship to where you want it to be. Let her do it. She is young and stupid (as in young-stupid, not academically stupid) and may make some mistakes that make her life more difficult. Her life, her choice. She will mature. When she does she will understand more about your parenting role. Stay friendly and helpful on Facebook. Eventually she will ask for advice. There is a possibility I am wrong, but the % that I am right is pretty high. I have been here for years and have seen the cycle over and over again. My own daughter is living on her own (at 19) and she is truly a joy for me now. We had our dark days and she went to live with daddy, too. It was like the day she moved out a huge weight was lifted for her and she was able to see more clearly. I can not explain it, but it happened. Have faith and heal. Do some nice things for yourself. That is my advice. [/QUOTE]
