[quote=Anonymous]As a parent I cannot imagine ever asking an adult child to give me space but I'm not in your shoes. If you want a relationship with grandchildren, pushing your daughter away is not the way to go about it. If she is resentful of her siblings it's likely because she feels you give/gave them more love. So asking for space will only reinforce those feelings for her. You should stop with the emails and have a heart to heart meeting in person. Cry it out if you need to but let her talk uninterrupted. Don't make excuses or have retorts for everything. You may not have intended for things to turn out the way they did but I'm sure her feelings are very real and need to be validated even if you don't agree internally. Were you affectionate to her growing up? Did you tell her you lover her often? Letting her have her way or buying her things is not the same.[/quote]
