[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 750255, member: 24254"] Yes, that's what I keep hearing in Al-Anon. Give her to God. It's so hard! We used to be so close , her and I. When I dropped her off the college , a year ago, we cried so hard . We had traveled together, we shared many of the same interests. Weeks into college, she made a friend that was important to her. She since has dropped this friend because she felt controlled and abused my said friend. When this friendship started, DC2 started pushing me away .Hard. I accepted it as a sign she was forging more independence. She started blowing all her money, and wanting more which I didn't give her, set boundaries . She later admitted to me that she talked bad about me to this friend and that the friend started bashing me (and my daughter believed what was being said rather than letting her relationship with me speak for itself). So I went from "best friend" (her words) to horrible person . That was hard to handle and I went through a lot of grief . Even now, she is somewhat stand offish with me, won't accept hugs, doesn't want to be touched . She treats me with a bit of distance. Only once in a while will the old daughter come through and she will be closer .It's very painful. [/QUOTE]
