[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 328560, member: 1233"] You are exactly right to let her figure out hoe to deal with this dental problem herself. It isn't fair to her to "rescue" her. It just pushes her back down into dependence. Yes, she is mad. I don't know if she will come around unless she figures out some financial gain. You owe her NOTHING. As a parent you did the best you could with what little you knew. When you knew more you did better. I think Maya Angelou said this and it is very much correct. I am willing to bet that you have never woken up and thought "Hmmm. How can I mess my daughter up today?" Yes, you were not perfect. She may not have had braces, or all the stuff that went with them, but she cllearly survived just fine. In many ways her "cutting you off" reminds me of a 4yo who screams they will not ever talk to you again - and comes to you twenty minutes later with a bug bite. Concentrate your attentions on your hubby and all the other children and grands that you share. She will do what she will do. Just be sure to not buckly under her pressure. It won't be a favor to either of you. [/QUOTE]
