[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you want an authentic and real and loving relationship with your daughter -- not a perfect relationship, but a real and authentic relationship -- it's time to leave aside the roles you have assigned both her and yourself, Debbie Downer and Pollyanna. Neither one of you fits these roles. I suspect you never did. You have described some genuinely troubling details of your relationship -- the fact that she reminds you of your mother in law physically and emotionally is sad. The fact that you feel that flat out dislike her is very troubling. You need to meet people halfway. Own your own behavior. Stop hiding behind jokes, reputations, and stereotypes. Make today the first day and be a different, kinder person. What comes through here is your intense dislike, and no one responds with sunshine to a person who dislikes them. No one.[/quote]
