[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 681539, member: 4152"] This kind of thing really tugs at a mother's heart. It can get painful. But, I see some things as an outsider looking in. First of all, your children certainly aren't children anymore. They are adults. And this stress is bothering your health....causing your blood pressure to rise. I think you have to ask yourself if it is worth it? You can analyze to death what is going on here, but likely will only be taking guesses as to why this happened. It sounds like they are two very different people. The silver lining, in my mind, is the younger daughter is willing to be civil at family gatherings/holidays. I would be grateful for this and encourage it (unless she is the type that does the opposite of what you say, then I wouldn't say anything). I suppose, you could maintain a nice relationship with both of them separately and enjoy the holidays as best as possible and avoid speaking negatively about the other sibling in the presence of each one. I totally agree about focusing on your good health and happiness. Do what you love doing...nourish friendships, etc. Blessings. [/QUOTE]
