[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 505539, member: 3419"] Urameanmommie, I am so sorry. I've felt like that many times about my son, but never to the extent you are experiencing it. Do you have a therapist? S/he will teach you how to detach. You've got to learn if you are going to continue to parent your daughter. I disagree with-your grandmother that you have to try harder. She doesn't have a clue. What I would recommend is detachment, instead. Seriously, you can only give so much. Once you have learned to detach, you may be able to see your daughter more clearly and some of her behaviors, looks, bits of conversation or whatever may actually turn out to be likeable. It worked for me. I work on it every day. It's a process, so don't expect to just one day be able to detach. ;) I would definitely still be in a photo with-her (too late now for Disney) and do what you have to do ... hold your breath, pretend you are putting your arm around a statue, whatever, but include her because she is still a part of your family. (I used to pretend that my son's outbursts were a really horrid show on TV ... ;) ) I would also change around her medications and get more therapy for her because at the moment, it sounds like you are spinning your wheels and not making any progress.
