[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 667654, member: 18516"] I think this is a very normal way to feel. No one likes being lied to. YES!! Genetics can play a large role in behavior. My son's bio-father has been out the picture since my son was 4 years old and my son turned out just like bio-father, right down to abandoning his children. You are not a horrible person. I too have had those thoughts about my son. Not so much that I wished him dead so he would be out of my life but more that I just didn't want him to suffer anymore. I haven't felt that way in a very long time but I am pretty far down the road in my detachment and acceptance of my son's life and how he chooses to live. Your daughter is still young and this could turn around. You know my son will be 34 next year and he could still turn it around. There is always hope. That being said, I am careful to not dwell on that hope as it will consume me and my life. I have to live my life for myself. Your daughter may just really miss having you physically close to her and I am in no way suggesting you move her to where you are. She is an adult and does need to learn how to handle her life on her own. It's good that you communicate with her. I do suggest you set some boundaries with her. And this is why we are here for one another as we know what it's like to deal with a difficult adult child. I do hope you are able to find some joy in your life. Be good to yourself. [/QUOTE]
