[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 754081, member: 15032"] I'm sorry to hear that your daughter was mean to you in that way. That is how I see it, it's just mean. I, too, long for a close "normal" family because I grew up in a home that was not normal - mother drank a lot and my father would get physical with her (think oil and water), police would be called etc. I was raised like an only child because the children my mother had from her first marriage were much older and out of the house. It was very lonely. In some ways, living with my son's addiction behaviors was reliving my not so happy childhood which made it extremely difficult. I had to let go of him and that was the last thing that I wanted to do. The moral of the story is that I have many many wonderful friends that are like sisters to me. I surrounded myself with people that make me laugh and make me feel loved. That is what we all need to do to make up for the things that we cannot fix in our lives. Be good to yourself. Hugs.
