[QUOTE="Mll, post: 730272, member: 22798"] Once again thank you for your post and helpful thoughts. Nothing has changed, I still have no contact with my daughter- she is obviously doing just fine without me in her life. All of a sudden she must be getting help from someone else which I should be grateful for and I guess I am. If she is trying to make me feel guilty she has succeeded. I know what she is trying to do and because my eyes have been opened, I refuse to try to mend a fence with her especially when I didn’t really do anything against her. I still struggle with what she said to me because I can’t even imagine talking to my own mother like that! So disrespectful and unwarranted. In time I suppose I will get over this but she is my only family and that is part of what makes this so difficult. It makes me question myself and think about how I might have done something in a better way. I have read the detachment paper and in fact have printed it out so I can reread it. Some of it is hard for me to figure out since it is the exact opposite of my normal way of reacting but I am trying to change my ways. These forums are giving me hope that I can do whatever it takes to protect myself! You are right when you say that I am worth it. Just hard to to believe after being beaten by so many in my life that my self esteem has suffered. I have had years of therapy and now see a psychiatrist for the medications he has me on for depression. I may need to go back into therapy for awhile so I can get past this. In the meantime everyone here in this forum have been so supportive and I am so appreciative of the comments and suggestions I have gotten!! Thanks to everyone - I will keep in touch!! “Huggs” Mloulady [/QUOTE]
