[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm mainly fascinated by how you go from birthing a child (having known that pure, unconditional love myself) to disliking, shaming, and experiencing schadenfreude at your own child's expense. It's not like your child held you hostage and forced you to pay for her college while you had zero control over her studies (I mean, you controlled her attending a house of worship, surely you could have said 'only people with BMIs under 24 are allowed to be English majors'). You seem to feel impotent and probably very concerned about how this reflects upon you, if your own self-worth isn't strong enough to hold space for her choices and differences. And underneath all of that is probably grief because you can't understand why your child feels alienated from you and compelled to cut off contact, though your own actions have caused and reinforced those feelings.[/quote]
