[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 734247, member: 19522"] Hi LM and welcome to our little corner. I am sorry for your heartache and need to be here. I understand your feelings and how hard it is to transition from that role. You were probably like a team together, a dynamic duo. Now, she is married and focusing on that relationship. I’m not condoning her ignoring you and the comment. That is immature and unnecessary. Maybe she doesn’t know what to say, or how to say it. Try not to write the end of the story. Things may change in the future. For now, your daughter is signaling that she needs space. It is good that she is helping with bills and being responsible in that way. Relationships with our adult children do change. Marriage, kids, jobs, are all things pulling at their time. Find something you enjoy and go do it. In my neck of the woods there are summer classes at park centers. I find walking and creating art help me to broaden my horizons and switch focus from what is going on with my wayward daughters. Your daughter and granddaughter are very blessed to have you. You have given a lot of your time and love. How about [I]treating yourself[/I] to a get away, even if it is just for the weekend? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. As your daughter is making her way, give her space and switch your focus over to what you want to do. There must be something you have always wanted to do for yourself? Hugs to you LostMom, you are going to be okay. Leafy [/QUOTE]
