[quote=Anonymous]My DD, 22, is so freaking difficult. Everything I say she challenges, it’s like she thinks I am so stupid that I can’t possibly say anything that is correct. It’s so frustrating and no fun at all to spend time with her.

I feel awful saying that. She doesn’t live with us, but not far. She comes home to visit with friends, the dog, and she doesn’t have these issues with her dad.

I honestly don’t know what to do. It’s cowardly but the last time she visited I stayed for 10 min and said I had to run to help out a friend. It wasn’t true, I just got out of the house and drove around.

We had a great relationship until she was in HS during Covid. She wanted to spend time with her friends, but my MIL was living with us then and was elderly and frail, so we had to be very careful. We allowed her to see friends outside, but she thinks I am an awful person because I wouldn’t let her do what she wanted.

FWIW the MIL has since passed (not from Covid), but the only memory DD seems to have is that I was incredibly controlling over her life and ruined her entire existence.

It’s exhausting.[/quote]
