Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dear Ann, I read your post with interest. I don't think that you sound bitter in a bad way. I think you sound weary and reluctant to have your 36 year old daughter wrinkle your heart any further. It sounds like your daughter has put you through a lot and is one nasty, ungrateful creature. As the mother of a just turned 15 year old daughter (currently living in a residential treatment facility after 6 psychiatric hospitalizations for " BPD traits " ) I appreciate your honesty and frankness. My daughter cannot be turning my life upside down (as she has the last 18 months) and expect a ralationship with me when she is an adult. I will not allow it. I am investing heavily in healthy realtionships with my husband and 4 other kids. I would like to do this with Anika as well but it will be up to her. I did read Codependent No More and I get it. I have family therapy with her tomorrow morning and we will be discussing her anger towards me. It will be interesting to hear what she is angry about concerning me. She got this assignment two weeks ago so has plenty of time to fine tune her anger. Have at it. She can say whatever she wnats and I don't anticipate being to upset. After all, I am free to come and go as I please and she is the one in residential treatment. cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
