[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child owes you absolutely nothing, OP. You owe yourself and your daughter therapy so you stop placing your emotional baggage on her. Find your own partner and friends. I truly cannot believe you are blaming your loneliness on her.

You get the relationship you create with your children. It is EXCEEDINGLY RARE for a child to stop contact without a valid reason.

My mother is like you. She doesn't speak to us or care at all unless it's a holiday. And then we're supposed to bend over backwards for her and her expectations. She has NEVER spent time with her grandchildren. EVER. Yet we're supposed to do what she says for a performance? Some pictures?? Absolutely not.

You need to ask yourself why you're alone. Leave your daughter out of it.[/quote]

Poor OO—this thread has morphed into a vehicle for adult children either unresolved trauma (totally unrelated to her post) to vent! [/quote]

It's not unrelated at all. I can easily see that OP will turn into a person like my mother if she doesn't get help and take some accountability. 
I don't subscribe to the notion that familial relations equates accepting and/or welcoming horrible human behavior. Why do we tolerate something that we would shun from anyone else? It makes no sense. Your mother, your husband, etc should be the SAFEST relationships, not this nonsense. You clearly haven't experienced a mother or close family member like this. And if you have and accept it, that's on you. [/quote]
