[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 559147"] Another thought...I was very close to my mother, which when I think about it, was a [U]rarity among my friends.[/U] Most of my young adult friends who were female had some issue of some kind with their mother. One thing my mother did, right or wrong, is that she very very very rarely criticized me in any way. I'm sure there were times she had to bite her tongue. So, one that very rare occassion when she said something, she said it gently and I listened. I'm NOT saying that your criticized her particularly...but she might be over sensitive, etc. and just normal advice seemed like harsh words to her. I know that is how I saw some of my friends reacting. She might be under a lot of stress, much of it, you might not be aware of. Anyway, I know my mother, esp. in retrospect, really avoided saying anything negative to me or even corrected me. She always praised me. It was so rare that she gave me advice...like once a year (if I had to guess), that I always listened and appreciated it. It made our relationship stronger. Again, as an adult, now I realize she probably bit her tongue A LOT and tried her best not to sweat the small stuff when it came to saying anything to me about things she thought I was doing wrong, etc. I say this because I realize that lately I've been struggling to bite my tonque with things with my son and daughter in law. They are doing fine and sometimes I see small things I would like to comment on and realize that I'm just trying to help or make conversation and it could be taken the wrong way, esp. by a young person. I pray that I can be as wise as my mother was!!! If you want to change your name and don't know how, try to find Cheryl...aka...Runnawaybunny. You can find her mostly on the introductory threads (like Site Help and Resources). You can send her a private message. She should be able to help you make some kind of change to your name, if that is what you'd like to do. Fingers crossed that things improve soon for you with your daughter. Blessings. [/QUOTE]
