[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it’s seems as if one of these scenarios occurred:

-Your husband was/is an alcoholic and you enabled it.

-You husband isn’t an alcoholic. You and husband provided a loving, functioning home for your children. But you’ve managed to raise a daughter that is straight up melodramatic and attention-seeking. She’s rude and emotionally immature.

Regardless of which of these happened, what is apparent is that you seem to be almost afraid of your daughter. Your posts come off as trying to not to upset her and to instead want to process everything with her. If I really did my best and provided for my kids who are now successfully independent, I’d be pretty pissed off by this behavior. She sounds like a teenager having a tantrum. [/quote]

OP here. I do have a gear of her, of her totally cutting us off.  I also though if I talked with her lots, athstvshe would get more perspective. But I go from being very sad to frankly angry, as in wtf, get a grip AC!!![/quote]

Stop living in fear. Have some integrity. She’s making accusations about your character. It’s okay to tell others, INCLUDING your own kid that you will not tolerate that. She may cut you off, but that’s always a possibility with any parent-child relationship. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. 
Shut this nonsense down. When she starts in with the accusations of toxicity and melodrama, tell her “I need to end this conversation right now. I don’t put up with people treating me this way. Goodbye.” [/quote]
