[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 663275, member: 18516"] It's always easy for those who do not have a D C to say things like this. You have done nothing wrong so you have nothing to make amends for. [I][COLOR=#0000b3]Definition: make amends, to compensate, as for an injury, loss, or insult:[/COLOR][/I] If anyone should make amends it would be your daughter. You have done nothing but to try to help her. How your relationship was??? This is how your relationship IS and it's by her choice. For me, this is where acceptance really helps. I had to accept that my son is going to live his life the way he chooses which is for the most part a homeless drifter. He could die and I would never know it. When I do have the opportunity to communicate with him I keep the conversation simple, and I always end telling him I love him. Love is all I have to offer him. Your anger towards your daughter is valid but you do need to work on letting that go as well. I agree with Copa: Contrary to what many believe, you can love your child and not like them. I love my son dearly but I do not like him as a person. I do not trust him and would not invite him into my home. ((HUGS)) to you................................ [/QUOTE]
