[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 84645, member: 3647"] confused~~ (((hugs))) for your mommy heart. There is a lot of life that is just the luck of the draw. We get the hand that life deals us. We then try to do the best we can with that hand. There is no way that your daughter is sitting there, unaware of the morals and values that you have taught her. When she is about to do something foolish, that pang that just about knocks her to the floor? That is guilt, because she knows better. You can drive yourself quite mad if you look around and say it's not fair. Joanie from down the street doesn't have these problems with her son, and she is no better than me. Sally from work has a wonderful daughter, and she doesn't even pay attention to her half the time. All probably true. Big deal. The important thing is doing the best with the hand that you were dealt. At this exact point in your life, take this time to work on you. Your daughter is safe, whether you like the way that she & mom are interacting or not. You have this opportunity to take care of you. The time can come suddenly that your daughter needs you again. You will want to be able to rise to the occasion. Try not to take your daughter's words and actions towards you so personally. I know that the attack are as personal as they can get, but remember, your daughter has mental illness. It is not her talking. Your mommy heart needs nurturing, so take some time for that. [/QUOTE]
