[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749602, member: 18958"] Welcome Cjc It's late now but I wanted to write to say I too read your post. I am so so sorry. I read a little of what ksm wrote and I agree with her. It's time to focus on you. But I want to say this too. Many, many of us have come to this forum in the same place as you. Feeling as if we are being targeted by our children, where we have been wounded before, either by husbands or negligent parents. I know I loved my son more than life itself. And there was a time that he rejected and betrayed me too. And there are other mothers here too that have suffered at their children's hands in the same horrible way that they had suffered before. I want to tell you how much hope there is. You are in a position now where everything really is possible. And I am too. There are doors that there was never time or energy to open. Now there is. Travel may not be possible right now but there are other possibilities as rich or richer. 12 step groups like Al Anon, for one. Spirituality. Volunteering. Service. Turning our eyes outward. However difficult has been our lives we have been blessed to have a great deal of meaning, and purpose. That same capacity you have had to invent and reinvent yourself, you can do so again and again. I am glad you found us. Finally, about your daughter. Honestly, I would turn away to become the mother to yourself that you need right now. Let her be. The end of the story has not been written. You don't have to justify or explain yourself to her. She's entitled to feel as she wishes. You know the truth. Let it be. I know the pain. But right now you've got bigger fish to fry. Your life. It's time for you. Take care. [/QUOTE]
