[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 629776, member: 1514"] I know you said your daughter left after some anger but I feel from reading your posts that she really is a good girl under everything. Even in leaving she didnt do something stupid and drastic. She wants to try the world on for herself right now. Let her. You guys were really close and you will be again. This isnt exactly the same thing but it is my child raising experience. I thought I was the worst parent on the face of the earth. I just knew that the minute my kids hit the age of 18 (on their birthdays no less) they would walk out my door and slam it in my face never to speak to me again. Oh that is so not the way it has happened...lol. I have three boys ages 33, and the youngest two will be 30 and 28 in a couple of weeks. My 33 year old and my 28 year old live in a home I own. I had to move out in order to have an empty nest...lol. My almost 30 year old did leave home at 18 but he joined the Marines and has been gone ever since. He left home on 2/18/2003 and has never lived with us again. My boys have always been close to their father, especially as they get older. I dont think we go a week without talking to them. Heck the two living in my house we talk to about daily but the one living out of state calls sometimes daily. I have to say that even though my youngest is a difficult child, and they all are in their own way, we are pretty much friends with our kids now. This will happen to you too. Trust me. If it could happen to this "worst mom in the world" then you dont have a worry in the world. [/QUOTE]
