[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 651687, member: 17542"] Esri, I hear your pain. But Esri, you already know what to do, and you said it very well in your post. She's not ready. She's not ready to have a real relationship with give and take, shared love, respect, mutual understanding and healthy boundaries. She's not ready for that, and until she is, the relationship would be severely one-sided, with you being the punching bag. You don't need that kind of relationship. Having said that, I know you love your daughter, and I understand the pain of giving it another try and getting slapped down again, like you described above. Well, Esri, you did try. Knowing you tried is some comfort. Step back now, focus on you and your younger daughter, and turn her over to your Higher Power, whatever that Higher Power looks like. You can't change another person. The only person you can change is you. Warm hugs tonight, Esri. These are hard things to live through, but you already know what to do. You have made progress on this road. [/QUOTE]
