[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 653657, member: 18516"] Billy, I'm so sorry for the pain you are in. Yes, you do need to work on detaching from her. The energy you put into trying to figure out why she does what she does is energy you should be putting into letting her go. Accept the fact that you may never have the relationship you want with her. I mean really accept that. It is with accepting that we have no control over what others do that we are able to take back control of our own lives. I understand that feeling of wanting to run away but that will not resolve anything. I couldn't tell you the last time my son wished me a happy birthday or mother's day, it's been many, many years. One year for my birthday when he was 14 or 15 I had the pleasure of watching the police come to my house to put an ankle monitor on him. Oh the memories!! The sooner you quit expecting a card or anything special from her the better off you will be. I have always liked this life equation: EXPECTATION MINUS REALITY EQUALS DISSAPOINTMENT If it were me, I would focus on having the best relationship you can with your granddaughter. Really be there for her and build a strong bond with her. Cherish the time you have with her. ((HUGS)) to you......................... [/QUOTE]
