[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 514828, member: 13882"] You're not a bad mom...stop thinking like that. What you want is a loving relationship with your daughter, but she basically "broke up" with you. Stop crying to her, stop begging. Take a step back and collect yourself. For whatever reason, your daughter sees you as a "trigger" - she may be spiting you, who knows? If her dad, who walks on eggshells and has a "relationship" with her can't make her come to her senses, then you certainly cannot make her come to her senses. Stop all the negative self-talk, first of all. Words have power, and do not allow yourself to think about yourself in that way. Model the behavior of a competent, self-confident person - even if it kills you! You must do this for yourself and your other kids. Look - if any man left you for another woman and both he and this other woman cursed you and disrespected you in such a vile manner, would you crawl on your knees to him? Of course not! Your may think your daughter is under a spell, and she may be, but the fact is, she must be held accountable for her behavior - you simply must respect yourself beginning now. Children are to honor their parents - do you call what she's doing honoring? A HEALTHY relationship goes 2 ways. Respect goes both ways. You're modeling victimhood for your other family members and that's not healthy. Please take care of yourself. If your daughter is a straight A student she is not stupid! [/QUOTE]
