[QUOTE="louise2350, post: 752982, member: 24632"] Thank you, Chase, for your input on this subject. My middle disconnected daughter, too, would say she wished she hadn't been born. We do have a lot in common as far as this disconnect goes. Like I mentioned before this all started because of something she posted on fb and I told her (not in a nice way) that what she posted wasn't right and she shouldn't have posted it - it had nothing to do with family, etc. After that message I sent her, she sent me back a message saying never to get in touch with her, etc. Many times, I called and e-mailed her to try and repair things, apologizing, but no response. Her sisters are invited to events she has, but not me. I know there must be more to this than her receiving a message online from me over something she posted. My disconnected daughter would be convinced to let her mother go or any member of the family if she read articles about, as you say, the latest on toxic parents, etc. She'd be convinced that I was one of those toxic parents, although I put more energy into her and her problems and unknowingly ignored the other two during tough times as she was growing up. The other two love and respect me and you'd think with me putting all my energy into the middle daughter, trying to fix her that the other two would resent me. I still pray for my middle because the man she married isn't the type a mother would want for her daughter to marry and I do believe this also has a lot to do with her state of mind. I haven't seen my grandchild from this daughter since the granddaughter was 7 months old. Thank God I have my other four grandchildren to spoil. It's so soothing to read your post and to know someone else is out there who's experiencing the same circumstances I am facing. I have thought of going to therapy - I can afford it, but just haven't done it yet and for someone who hasn't experienced all of this whether they are a professional or not, I don't think they can fully understand how one feels. Thank you again. [/QUOTE]
