[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you aren't a troll, here is the deal when it comes to adult relationships with children.

They change.

It doesn't matter how you've treated your daughter vs. her siblings in the past. She has matured into an adult, and so have they, and you should think hard about treating them equitably now.

Also, I agree with PPs that you don't just 'demand' respect. She is not 13. She is an adult, she does not rely on you monetarily, and she can decide whether you are a part of her life. My parents also had a hard time with this. I would disagree with them and they would tell me I was all wrong and I'll regret XYZ. I'd give them time and space and we'd start over with cordial conversations and work from there. Keep it simple and stop the drama. Keep out of her relationship with her husband and try treating her as you would a friend. Respect HER decisions and reactions too. If you think you've upset her with something you said or did, you need to say so. The days of 'I'm doing what's best for you because I'm your parent' are OVER. [/quote]
