[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 153586, member: 3626"] sniff (literally). Thanks, guys, so much. You have no idea what your words meant. I'm still an ungrateful daughter but I did put it back on my mother. I simply told her I'm sorry she felt that way and if I was that much of a sorry excuse of a daughter maybe I should quit calling and simply send her email messages. She backtracked very quickly and actually apologized for making me feel so badly (she really does know me and love me). For my daughter, I think I'll always feel I failed her. Intellectually, I know that it is the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and I worked minor miracles in getting her this far. Emotionally, I do want my love returned and that's not something she can do. Maybe there was one more thing I could have done or should not have done. Maybe one day I'll be able to accept that but I doubt it. I did what I could. She does have true empathy for others, just not me and I do take credit for that. True empathy by a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child is somewhat of a miracle. I'm just taken for granted, as most mothers are. [/QUOTE]
