[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 517347, member: 47"] You can't force a relationship with someone, even your children or your parents. The constant texting wanting to see her, begging forgiveness, telling her you would do anything to make things right and then when she doesn't respond, you get upset and start comming back ranting, calling her names, telling her what a loser she is and all she is doing wrong. You are going to have to come to terms that you have absolutely NO control over the situation (other than refusing to pay for her bills) and just let it go. If you never really had a good relationship with her, this course of action you are taking isn't going to help it, its not healthy. Its taken me a while to learn to butt out of my adult children's life and give no imput unless asked a specific question. It was constant drama with my eldest for a while with her bad choioces, and I had to detach to keep myself sane. It was hard for a while to change conversations from her to other things, but gradually it happened (helped along by my SO and her brothers who didn't want to hear her name or a word about her) Our relationship isn't ideal now - too much water over the bridge, but I do see her and my grandkids about once a month for dinner and its better than nothing.
