[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 548818, member: 13882"] I'm sorry you feel so miserable. In my experience, moving is always frought with tension. It's exhausting, draining, and expectations are never met. The way I see it, she should've been thankful for her family's help. I'm sure if her friends had offered to help with her move she wouldn't have treated them so poorly. on the other hand, she is probably stressed out with school expectations and is overwhelmed with pending school responsibilities. It backfires on you and anyone with good intentions. My advice: Back away from her life for a while. She may be feeling smothered by so much attention - let it go. I know it hurts. Sometimes we do too much and we're overinvolved, even though we mean well. As far as your broken heart is concerned, don't get too upset (easier said than done) - learn your lesson from this experience. Just withdraw a bit and let her have some space. She will either make it or she won't, but being overinvolved in your adult children's lives only backfires and becomes "our fault" somehow. In any case, I'm sorry you were hurt. Please don't dwell on it - it will only make you feel worse. [/QUOTE]
