[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703266, member: 18958"] What I meant was face to face conversations over a period of time. Not texting or phone. Many if not most of us here on this forum had extremely close relationships with our children. Things change for reasons that can be difficult and deep. As you are aware with your health status, life can change in a moment. The same thing happened to your daughter that happened to you. She seems to need help dealing with it. You cannot make her do what she will not. But you can offer of yourself, I think. Not talking [I]at[/I] her. Not endless worrying. Not intrusion she does not want. But intimacy. Being with her. Letting her speak. Letting her be with you. It may take time. It may take courage. It may not work. But it may be that she needs her mother, and fears she may lose her. This is your opportunity. There may be something you can do for your child which is to give of yourself...your love and presence. Maybe I am wrong. But maybe not. [/QUOTE]
