[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 749907, member: 23706"] Sounds as if your daughter might have attachment disorder or maybe antisocial personality disorder, which does NOT mean she is a potential serial killer. It simply means the person doesn't connect with people like others do nor feel the emotions other people experience. Does she love her kids with a mother's passion? Was she adopted? Adoption can cause attachment problems, but anyone can be born without a range of normal emotions and lacking connection towards people. Sometimes there is no reason. This is not your fault. I am not sure she can properly love anyone and she has said as much so she knows. Perhaps therapy for you and learning to take care of yourself first would help you a lot because none of us can change another person, not even our children. I have a similar daughter and she is only responsive to us if we give her money. The friendliness only lasts for a week or until she asks for something more and we dare to decline. I don't believe my daughter loves anyone. So we decided to just move on and, no, its not easy. But we are less anxious now and focus on our marriage and other loved ones who do love us back. We are blessed with other children and close relatives beyond them. If God is in your life, do lean on God and pray for your daughter. I do that a lot. It is all I can do for her. And for me and my husband. Do buy the book. It is now my second Bible. It has helped me accept my daughter, even if I don't like how she is. Acceptance gives peace. The book really affected me. Be well. [/QUOTE]
