[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 15, I already know we won’t be close or have a relationship. Grant it she is going through the teen years but I don’t think she’ll ever fully mature, grow out of ALL her insecurities, and jealous personality. I do hope she will but I’ve always been perceptive of people. I tell her ai love her, support her but I am tired of the battles.  Sounds terrible but i can’t wait for college, I’m afraid that she won’t go away to school nor move out one day.  She is that insecure, draining. I accept her the way she is now and am slowly learning how to remove myself from emotional, reactive, insecurities. I’m just trying not to hate her.  Help me..[/quote]please try your best not to take this view. Try your hardest to view her as an independent person who may be the polar opposite of you and find the beuty of her different way of looking at things. Just love her even if she is unlike you. Maybe she is the mini-me of your grandma who you did not like or she is the mini-me of your SIL who is so different than you. Your relarionship will only improve with time, if she can feel your love for her no matter how alien she seems to you at various moments. It may help to take her on a trip or even a daytrip. Where you can get out of your routines, and reconnect under a new environment.[/quote]
