[QUOTE="Lifecontinues, post: 725884, member: 22644"] Thanks to all who replied. I was in an extremely bad place yesterday and apologize for my abruptness. I live 1200 miles from her so when I come I stay at their house for a few weeks. I can’t afford a place where she lives. No other option. Don’t think she would go for the hotel idea, but I like it. I feel I need to LYK that her father passed several years ago. Our relationship since then has been mostly ok with a few bumps, but this visit is a roller coaster. And the distance between us has gotten wider. She has never been able to talk much about her dad since he passed, yet I talk of him often. We certainly have grieved differently. I have been in therapy and grief support as was she. SomewhereOut there... I believe you are right. Rarely do our adult children love us as much as we love them... or need us as much. This is a me generation, but that is so not the way she was brought up. She just can’t or won’t see how she hurts me. Focusing on my grandkids is what I try to do. Thank you all for your input. It has helped just knowing I’m not alone. [/QUOTE]
