[QUOTE="DDD, post: 517309, member: 35"] This is what I read in your posts. Likely it won't be what you want to hear but it is what I believe and my response to your request for help. 1, You not only love your daughter but the two of you have been unusually close. 2. She has been a huge source of pride and likely you have been[U] too[/U] close to her due to problems with your husband. 3. She is now making lousy choices and you have talked too often to her about that, hoping that she will trust you to make this huge decision. She wants to make her own adult choices. For her sanity she is choosing to avoid you. When you keep trying to force her to reconnect with her...she is more turned off. 4. There is no doubt that she knows you love her. 5. Meanwhile you are an intelligent mature woman who is determined to "get" your old connection back and, truthfully, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Many of us have "lost" adult kids along the way. Almost all of us have wanted to go grab our adult kid and bring them home to live. The good news is that with the passage of time alot of us have been able to reconnect adult to adult. I truly believe that you "know" you are justifiably in mourning. Using a family support group in your community might help. Studying the concept of detachment may help. Finding a new activity to fill the void in your life may also help. Reading posts (old and new) will help you realize that parental pain is not rare. You are with a fine supportive group with a variety of personalities and experiences. You are not alone.
