[QUOTE="Joanieb, post: 710923, member: 21340"] EJP I'm going through this and much mor switch my 36 year old daughter and my 2 grandsons so I know exactly how you feel. I divorced her dad when she was 8 years old and then went through some rocky years but through it all I gave her as good a childhood as I could. I worked and provided good home, school, sports and holidays. They never went without. But she grew up hating me. I can remember hateful comments from a very young age towards me. After her boys were born I gave her so much support and turned down a major promotion at work to support her. About 4 months ago as her mental health deteriorated so did her treatment towards me. I once got 27 abusive text messages when I was babysitting her son. Swearing and calling me names. I've been trying to give my grandsons their Easter presents but she makes up excuses all the time for me not to see them. I got far too attached to them over the years because of all the babysitting I did. She now uses them as a way to hurt me. I cry and get angry and then sad nearly everyday. When I'm with others I just fake how I feel. I put on a mask everyday Andy then when I take it off it's so painful I can't breath sometimes. I am feeling your pain in every word you write here. I'm also starting to take it out on my partner. I have no answers. How do you just walk away from years and years of parenting and family like people suggests you do? [/QUOTE]
