[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 603810, member: 1550"] I would post this over on Parent Emeritus because that's the site for parents of adult kids. That's a whole different relationship than with a minor child, which is what this forum is for. Can you post there and give us more of a history here? Did she side with Dad in the divorce? Some grown kids keep up the resentment of divorce. Anything else? Any mental health issues with daughter? Drug use? Where did this start? Why don't you think she doesn't like you? Also, you have a life that transcends your daughter. You should not let your daughter have that much power over you. You will be much happier if you have your own friends and activities outside of your daughter and grandchildren. You do exist way beyond her. Maybe she thinks you are there to much and she wants her independence. Maybe she thinks you count on her too much for your social life...and she wants to be with her friends. Did you like hanging out with your parents when you were a young mother? Sometimes we forget how WE were...lol :) It would probably help you to get into therapy. You can not be happy if your life revolves around somebody else's approval, even your daughter's. Most of us on PE have learned this hard but important lesson. This lesson is especially important if your adult child is not particularly nice to you. Your life still must go on. Happy to "meet" you, but sorry that you had to join us. Go to PE...we can help :) Pam [/QUOTE]
