[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 760350, member: 23706"] Hi. I am so sorry for this I learned that we can only control one person....ourselves. We can NOT control our spouses or adult kids. Not one bit. All you can do is cause her to decide she may not want you in her life at all or not much if you keep pushing her. in my opinion let go of your need to control what you can not. You can change your response to her choices, nothing else. You chose who you married. Nobody could stop you. Same with your daughter. I have learned to let people...all of them...learn their own lessons without my manipulation or input from me. It in my opinion is best. I have learned to focus on my own life only. It is all I can control and my child made bad choices and NOTHING I said or did changed her choices. We are no longer in contact at all. Our grown kids do not appreciate telling them what to do. I hope you are not offended but we can not control any adults. Our kids who are adults do not have to answer to us. They must learn, just as we did I send prayers and love. Trust me, I get it [/QUOTE]
