[QUOTE="One Hurt Mama, post: 746476, member: 23038"] Eliza, when I read your post, I was immediately reminded of a time last year when my daughter (only child, age 36), absolutely FLIPPED OUT because a friend of mind sent her a lovely card saying that she would be praying for her. My daughter was 28 weeks pregnant at the time, and had been diagnosed with melanoma, and I was crazy with worry and had asked some of my friends to pray for her. I had NO IDEA that doing so would cause my daughter such extreme distress and outright ANGER, and I tried more than once to explain it, but she would have none of it, SCREAMING and CRYING, calling me a ***ing :censored2: and saying that it wasn't ABOUT me, and that who was this person sending her a card anyway, and that she hated me more than she had ever hated anyone in her life. Rationally, I know that her behavior toward me was likely a transference of her FEAR, and that somewhere down deep she was fighting for her very life and that of her unborn baby, but it still hurts me to the core to this day. I will never forget it. I have not received an apology, of course, nor do I expect one, and I FOR SURE will never bring it up again! I did not mean to hijack your post, Eliza, but hope this can bring you just a little comfort. Our daughters apparently feel safe enough with us to act their WORST. Their VERY WORST. They know that no matter what, our love for them will never die. Hang in there, and keep us updated. Sending you big hugs! One Hurt Mama [/QUOTE]
