[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I know I'm not totally thinking straight.  But I am feeling shi**y. This morning as I was trying to get my daughter out the door, I kept nagging her to get ready.  She kept saying things like "you think i need like 30 minutes to get ready? mom, you keep saying things that make you sound stupid" and then 5 minutes after waiting for her to leave, she's looking through a book, and then staring off into space.  I was literally watching her, curiously, and said "It's so interesting watching you get ready to leave, you stare into space, you stop to read a book...."  and she goes, "mom you're making yourself sound stupid again"

So she's gone for the day, and when she gets back, I bring it up again, intending to apologize for being passive aggressive, or for making her feel bad for being distracted, and I ask "Were you upset at me before?"  And she goes, what are you talking about?  You're being annoying."  And so I apologize again, and say "I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention to annoy you."

I guess I just feel like we've lost all connection and I just have no idea to get it back.  It makes me incredibly sad.[/quote]

Putting aside connection why are you tolerating abusive language like this? Does your husband treat you this way? Your DD is treating you like a doormat. Why are you apologizing to someone who mistreats you?
