Thank you very much for responding and for your wisdom. I do love my daughter very much. She is my oldest. I remember having a very difficult relationship with my own dear mother when I was her age. My mother died a few years ago just as we seemed to be getting our relationship repaired. I could just bawl as I recall this. Perhaps I'm hanging my daughter up as a direct result of unfinished business with my own mother.

I will ponder your sincere insights and suggestions very thoughtfully. Thank you all for supporting me.

Sandy
