[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 623730, member: 14865"] Broken, I am so sorry that she is acting like this. I know firsthand the pain that a daughter's actions can cause to her mother's tender heart. The only way I got through my daughter's rejection of me two years ago was to detach. Read the article on detachment- the first post in Parent Emeritus. It saved me. If you can detach, you can also reattach, if it ever works out for you to do that. But for now, this may help you to put one foot in front of the other, as it did me. I am still on the journey where I never know what the next day is going to hold as far as my bipolar daughter is concerned. A month ago, she was in a mental hospital for attempted suicide. One month later, she is doing much better but still has bad days like the one last week that I told you about. So it is a minute to minute thing for so many of us. Not even day to day-and sometimes, not even hour to hour. But all we really have is this moment right now. The moment you just had is already gone. We have no choice but to move forward into the next moment. So trying to put some distance between you and your daughter while she is being difficult, to my way of thinking, is vital for your sanity. I know it was for mine. Hugs to you and sending my best wishes, karma, and prayers. [/QUOTE]
