[QUOTE="Lioness, post: 650382, member: 18827"] Thank you for being there, as I do feel alone with this. I'm also going through a guilt trip as everything I have read has said it's likely to be hereditary & bad parenting. I was effectively mum & dad with 12, 10 & 6 years old. My daughter being aged 12. She must have heard the arguing with her Dad. He became physically & emotionally unavailable to her. I had a near breakdown I.e. Crying, angry and sad. I didn't cope at times especially with my eldest who hated me. I did shout at times. But my nature is to nurture & love too much as I never had love as a child. I overcompensated & spoilt them. My ex husband & I failed her. I fear that we are to blame. I can't shake this feeling off. Have ordered books from Amazon to try & get help & learn how to deal with her if & when I have contact. She has been messaging me about cooking recipes?! I have answered them but been short & to the point. I no longer send her loving texts as she then has power over me. Sounds crazy but true. I think this is the first time I haven't messaged her & that's why she contacted me. I have never given up before. Hugs to you for being so understanding. [/QUOTE]
