[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689398, member: 18958"] I can only respond briefly as I need to run to do errands but wanted to get back to you first. I think the issue is boundaries. It seems to me that everybody is too wrapped up in everybody's life and business. I think the idea that daughter move out makes sense. Even if she were respecting you it is time that she establish an independent living situation, and that you regain the authority in your own home. You do not have to defend yourself as a mother. What is past, is past. You deserve respect regardless of what came before, just because. She is entitled to her feelings, she is not entitled to rag on you in your own home. One time is enough. She can say it one time, and you listen. She can go to therapy to discuss it further. There needs to be boundaries. Moving out will help. Why do you allow this? How does she get to comment upon your personal life? This is what I mean. Get a grip. You have authority as a mother, take it. You have moved out of the boyfriend's house. Anything that transpires between the two of you, and between you and anybody else, is not the concern of your daughter. She can have her feelings about it, even judgmental and critical ones. She can decide she wants distance from you. But she does not appropriately get to disrespect you. I agree with you completely. [/QUOTE]
