Hello all! I thought I would offer my support and share some. I think starting a group is a wonderful idea. I can relate because my youngest daughter won't talk to me. I only know how she is doing via Facebook and her older sister. Even with my oldest, the relationship is strained. My daughter M doesn't like to talk on the phone and we only text every once in a while. I don't understand it. I missed a big part of their childhood through no fault of my own. They're father told them I abandoned them. He actually cut me out of there lives. It was done legally and through trickery. For years I was a mess. Now that they are older, my pain has lessened. Though I wish I could be close to them again.
