[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need deep and serious therapy. You sound like a emotionally abusive control freak.

If you want any relationship with your daughter you need to do weekly therapy with an individual therapist for a year or two, fix yourself.

Once you are no longer an abusive person you can figure out how to repair your relationship with your daughter. [/quote]

Mom here.  Could you specify in what way it is abusive to expect your young adult child to send thank you notes?  To speak respectfully?  To call grandparents occasionally?  To be collaborative regarding decisions that will cost tens of thousands of dollars?

The only way the OP's posts strike me as remotely abusive is that they suggest that OP and his ex were extremely neglectful of their responsibilities to have consequences for their daughter's unacceptable behavior in the past.  NEVER wrote thank you notes?  Then she shouldn't have gotten any presents after the age of 5 or 6.  How did they let it go this long until age 17?

But the expectations aren't out of line at all.[/quote]
