[QUOTE="newstart, post: 752656, member: 22416"] Welcome Netties, What an authentic post. I understand much of what you wrote. You had mentioned seeing you daughter and g daughter once a week on Sunday. That is not seeing them a lot especially if they live close. I am trying to figure out my emotions also and I think the reason I feel left out of my 37 year old daughter's life is because our connection is so off and on. If I had a truly satisfying deep connection when we did see each other I don't think I would feel left out. I only see my daughter once a week and she lives in the same neighborhood. Time is moving at record speed, I am 62 years old. I would like to spend more time with my daughter. My grandmother lived with us growing up. She got to enjoy the day to day things and we got to enjoy her. I too have friends, a social life and a great husband but I still want that close connection with my daughter. I have tried to fill that void with many things but there is nothing as satisfying to me than to feel deeply connected and loved by my daughter. Her love for me is not consistant and keeps me off balance. I keep trying for something that happens once in a blue moon. I think if I felt deeply loved by her I would not keep trying so hard to get little nuggests here and there..Every once in a while I do feel close to her and it is healing to my heart. I love my daughter deeply but do not like the things she says and does. I have done a better job of slowly detaching. My daughter spends time with her boyfriends family. My daughter does not want the families doing things together. I feel left out and hurt so many times by her. I give her my best. I give her my all. She gives me crumbs. We do our best and I pray for you. [/QUOTE]
