[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 666958, member: 17542"] Hi KK and welcome to the forum. I am so sorry about your relationship with your daughter. Do you think her husband is part of the reason she has distanced herself from you? Or her dad? I just remember needing my mom's involvement when I first had children. In fact, that is when i really began to see things from her perspective more and more. Is there a chance she would come with you to a therapist? If not I would go to therapy myself to have a safe place to talk about it and get a perspective that, at the very least, will help you, and possibly get some ideas to try to repair the relationship. I am just so sorry for the estrangement. As a young adult I was almost too dependent on my mom. Later on, she and I had some necessary distance for a while...created by me as I detached from her. She was always a wonderful mother...I just didn't know how to separate in a healthy way as a young adult. It was on me. Today we are very close in a healthy way. She is 83. Hang in there. Relationships change, and I am hoping for a change in a positive direction for you and for her. We are glad you Are here. [/QUOTE]
