[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 667982, member: 19586"] Hi. I am currently staying with my adult daughter who needs my help as she is going through a divorce and has a tough job working all hours so can't shop or cook etc. I do all the shopping and cooking and look after her little dog. I just don't understand how her mind works as she seems to be so u grateful and expects me to do everything. She is moody and very disrespectful towards me. When she has a weekend off I thought it would be nice for us to go for lunch or something but she either goes out with friends or sits in her room watching tv. The only time she speaks to me is to ask what's to eat. I don't want to upset her but I feel bad that she takes me for granted all the time. I put my life on hold for her, moved to another city, left my friends and my car behind to come and take care of her. I have been here for over a year and it never gets any better. Last week I decided to tell her how her behavior makes me feel after she was very rude to me and she simply said that she is not responsible for how I feel. She said I decide how I feel. I know she is going through a tough time but I am hurting also. It seems as if she thinks I should just get on with things and ignore the way she treats me. However I am deeply unhappy and know that I am expected to be here for another year until she qualifies but I don't know how I will cope with this situation. My husbands works overseas so I think she sees that I am available and therefore should help. I would appreciate any input on how to deal with this issue. [/QUOTE]
