You guys thank you soooooo much. I alway feel slightly more positive after reading this forum. It’s difficult, but you are so right with seeing things from her perspective. I grew up with both my parents so I feel very privileged that my childhood was always positive. And since I have never experienced a one parent household, I can only imagine it which makes it challenging to fully understand her.

Some
Behaviours today were quite hurtful to me today. She is going through some family issues, but she avoids me. She messaged me to ask when I’m coming because she has a few things to do. Now I realise she just wanted to know when I would be over at their house so that she can make herself scarce in an effort to avoid me. It’s hurtful! She ignored me and when I tried to make conversation(she clearly didn’t want to talk but I guess I pushed too hard) she went to her grandma and whispered about me and something about her not having to talk when she doesn’t want to. It’s hurtful, because all the nice things I did for her is clearly unappreciated. Not only that, I’ve only ever been kind and loving to her so why the need to avoid me, ignore me and give me dirty looks?? Also, she greets her dad and her grandma but doesn’t greet me. I know I’m an outsider but why am I being treated so harshly when I’ve only ever been open, honest and friendly??
