[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 668013, member: 1550"] You know....this is plain nasty. Is your daughter mentally ill? I know she is bright, but this is not normal for an adult child to treat badly a very kind and giving mother, like you. I would have fallen on my knees and kissed my mother's feet if she had done one third of the nice that you have done. You deserve to be cherished, not disregarded. You're nicer than I am. If any of my kids gave my gifts back that I had lovingly picked out for them, I'd stop the gifts. Do I mean it? Yep. I'd send a loving card instead. Canceling Christmas totally dismissed your feelings. Her house/her rules, but YOU are working for her, so to speak. Not allowing a Christmas because she is unhappy to me is childish. She, in my opinion, should have taken your feelings into consideration. Like you said, she didn't cancel the gift part of Christmas. You can't fix your daughter, no matter what the problem may be. But you don't have to put yourself through this either. Do what you feel you can and want to do, no m ore, no less. And if she hurts your feelings over and over again, you have every right to get fed up with it. Many of us have been there. And we finally learned not to take verbal/emotional abuse. Reading it a second time...I just feel so sad for you. Hugs for your hurting heart and do think of yourself as valuable when you make decisions. [/QUOTE]
