[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633017, member: 1550"] Unfortunately, my guess (which could be wrong) is that her bio. dad told her all about you and she bought it. My son, a child we adopted at age six who never really bonded with us, left us too without a word of explanation. Nothing is more cruel than to leave a loved one without giving that person a voice. I do not know if you can contact your ex to talk to him and maybe get him to tell you what is going on or to be sympathetic to you or not. In the end, it is really your daughter's life walk she is taking. I tried very hard to get my son to respond to letters I wrote, but he and his wife actually ridiculed them then archived them on his computer...not sure why he did that. I don't know if there is a path you can take or not. Every person is different. One thing I know, I consider a harsh cut off, with no explanation or hearing, a form of abusive behavior. It is too bad your daughter is choosing to express her (whatever is going on in her head) in this way. Maybe things have been festering inside of her, but it would be kind of her to at least share her reasons for this unexpected break from you. I suggest therapy. That's where I went when my son did this and it was very helpful. The psychologist was very good and we took this part of my life's walk together. He exposed it for what it was to me and then I was able to accept it and move on. But in your case, this may not last long. You can't guess. I still think therapy would help you so you have coping skills no matter what the next step is. [/QUOTE]
