[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 679512, member: 19951"] Hi and welcome to the forum. If it were me, I 'd rent a car and drive myself home with the dog. I would get on with my life. Your daughter is not being respectful. How heart-breaking the way she handled Christmas with you. She gave some of the presents back because they were unsuitable for her tastes? I will tell you- if my kids did that to me, I'd kick their butts around the block. There are many folks out there with demanding jobs, going through marital break-ups and don't treat their parents this way. Let's break this down: [LIST] [*]She doesn't appreciate all that you do [*]You buy all the groceries which lives you with very little money [*]She disrespects you verbally, emotionally [*]She tells you your feelings are your own, deal with them when you try to have a conversation of how you see things, which is being totally taken advantage of [*]You asked her to give you a shot and she couldn't find the time, but will do things for her friends [*]She cancelled Christmas, return the gifts you gave her because they were unsuitable to her tastes [*]She left you alone for Christmas, albeit, ate with you quickly but wanted to spend time with someone else's family, NOT YOU. [*]You cook, clean, do the shopping, make her meals and she doesn't even give you so much as a thank you [*]She doesn't let you enjoy TV time; she could put on head phones to study [/LIST] So, exactly what are you getting out of this? You state you will worry if you leave, well, look at what it is doing to you being there? You gave up your home, your car, your life, put it on hold for what? I can't tell you what to do- but I know what I would do. I'd take that dog and get myself back home and live my life. She will be fine without you. We all have had to "let our kids go" and make their own choices, handle their own lives, even if it means that go off course for a while. [/QUOTE]
