[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752645, member: 23706"] I see I didn't answer your question. I have a possible few suggestions that may work for you. First of all, I think therapy is great at helping us find new ways of coping and thinking about problems that trouble us. I make sure mine is female. It is nice to get suggestions and feedback from an uninvolved person. Mine helped me a lot. My hub and I also see a husband/wife team for marital counseling. Secondly, can you just go along with making your own plans for each day? See your daughter and grand when invited, but don't stop the rest of your life waiting. Your fears about grand forgetting you are unrealistic, which is why I suggested therapy. Also needing to be the center of your daughter and grands life isn't going to happen. Most of us know this. They have same age peers to hang with. Makes sense. Therapy can help you there too, I believe. It sounds as if you are insecure, but you can learn skills to get past that. I hope you do. If God is in your life, I find him to be a tremendous help. I go to church when I feel as if I need a loving Parent to guide me, even if nobody else is there. Blessings and hugs. [/QUOTE]
