I have never felt this low in my life. For the first time in my life, I felt that I wanted to go to a bar to drink. That thought is no longer there.

Over the past few years, my daughter has been treating me pretty poorly at times. Lately its been terrible. Now she thinks that she does not want me there in the hospital with her when my grandchild is born. I cannot not stand the pain.

Just before she told me this, I told her that I will not text her for a period of time. I think this would be good for both us right now. I wanted the pain to stop. She texted me back that she wants me to give her and her boyfriend my townhome. I told her that I have already been giving her everything I can. This is what I have always done for her. This all started with her ignoring my text messages for days. All I wanted is to know how she was feeling. I told her this is not right, and asked her to at least respond during the same day.

This time I drew my boundaries with her. This just made her more angry. She then began to treat me even more poorly. She cannot handle any sort of critisism, even when it is meant to be constructive. There is allot of anger in her.

She is in a very difficult situation where she is living in a small room with her boyfriend while preagnant with their child. She thinks her relationship with him may not last. He is also not very good at keeping jobs. He is now going out until the early morning hours drinking and doing drugs. She cuts herself off from me. When I get upset over this and talk to her whike at the same time making sure she understands that I am there for her, she pushes me away. She gets very angry with ne. She treats me even worse trying to hurt me. She has done it this time. She has really succeeded this time.
