[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630819, member: 17269"] Lynnylou, I am sorry you are in this hurtful position of being taken advantage of. I can't tell from your post if your daughter still lives with you? And you said you raised your granddaughter financially..I'm not sure I know what that means. Can you explain? What I'm getting at is how much you support your daughter and her daughter. Is your daughter working now? I guess this is step one. Being this way is not making you closer, is not making her be nice to you or appreciate you, and is making you stressed. It is time to stop. You don't need to be there for anyone at the snap of a finger..you need to be there for people who love and appreciate it you in times of need. No finger snapping, ever. Sounds like she does a lot of it. Try, next time there is a finger snap, real or imagined...to do nothing. Do you have some examples of what is you do? Maybe we can help you with some prepared responses. It is always best to be prepared... Read "CoDependent No More" a book that is aimed at people in your situation. That is a good starting place. And if you want to, please keep posting here. We've all been there in one way or another. Echo [/QUOTE]
