[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 579800, member: 1436"] Three years ago, after 23 years of marriage and 3 children (1 was mine before, but ex was his "dad"), I left and chose to a divorce. There were lots of issues with my two boys surrounding the divorce---but it all boiled down to how their lives would change because of my choices. The way I always presented it to them was that my choices were just that, MINE. They knew the issues that I had dealt with in the marriage and in the end accepted my right to live my life. It took a year before the boys both accepted the changes. Then I met my current husband. We married last August. My boys did not come to the wedding. It was their choice. But...they know I love them. I know they love me. I don't like all the choices they make in their lives, but I have always been willing to accept their right to make those choices. I have also made sure that they understand that all choices have consequences and have always let them see that I am willing to accept whatever consequences without complaining. It is your life. Your daughter is an adult. She will either come around and accept your choices, or she will continue to make the choice not to not be involved in your life. Just make sure that you are willing to accept whatever consequences come from your choices. [/QUOTE]
