[quote=Anonymous]I have some experience with similar circumstances, from the kid's perspective, and I say you should definitely try! But when you reach out, please take ownership of your past actions and acknowledge and apologize about what she has gone through. Don't just think you can jump in without doing some emotional accounting with her. It's better to try and fail to develop a relationship, and at the very least you can give her the gift of giving her some of the power in our relationship by letting her decide what she wants to do. If you don't try to reach out, she will likely always resent you and feel bad about it, so there can only be upside or status quo. Good luck, OP! Let us know what happens![/quote]
