[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 659514, member: 16024"] SoT- I have to agree with SWOT and others--you may need to let go of your desire to have a relationship (let alone a good relationship) with your daughter. She is around 40 years old. The chances of her changing are slim. Don't hold your breath. We all wish we could figure out the 'why' of the way they behave. But there are no answers. We can only speculate. And we cant change them no matter how much we want to. Put your time and effort where it makes a difference. You have two adult children and several grandchildren who appreciate you and love you. Focus your attention on them. I feel bad for your grandchildren by this daughter. However, many people grow up in difficult circumstances and make a good life for themselves anyway. They can, too. [/QUOTE]
