[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always validating when OPs come back to confirm my initial assessment, which is that OP is a horrible person and a horrible parent and hates her child. [/quote]

I don’t think OP hates her child. I think she and her daughter developed a pattern of triggering each other emotionally over time, which is different. DD’s current choices are untenable for OP and her spouse, putting them in a challenging position, pragmatically and emotionally.

OP can’t change her young adult daughter, but OP’s having her own therapist — just for herself — could be so helpful to review these long-standing dynamics, consider what options will work best moving forward, and also to address her own feelings, which have to be so stressful right now.[/quote]

Oh please. Did you read her update? It's disgusting. [/quote]

OP here. You can insult me all you want, but the fact is, my DS is the total opposite of DD -- kind, generous, grateful, and self-sufficient (he works in tech in SF). He is the total opposite of DD and secretly rolls his eyes at her navel-gazing, narcissistic, "art."[/quote]

Enmeshed golden child triangulates with mom. [/quote]
