[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 704858, member: 20487"] Mamacat: Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry to hear about your sadness with your daughter. But I do understand how you feel. I am sad and mad too. Today my daughter replied to a text I sent to her (she barely answers the phone so I have to text).

Long story short she gave a small story about her van (I paid for and has many miles on it, expect soon it will die) of how it was not running right and dying when she starts it etc. I asked questions and made suggestions and suddenly she just quit texting.
