I don't think it's about you at all. They are both walking a path that makes no sense to you. It doesn't matter if their path makes sense to you, it only matters that their path makes sense to them. Their path is not your path. It's better to walk alone than to walk on the wrong path.

Tonight my daughter (she's 31 years old) told me she's embarrassed by my beliefs. She's embarrassed by my beliefs. No one knows what those beliefs are but her, but she's embarrassed anyway. This is very manipulative. If my beliefs are so unacceptable, I think I'd rather lose her than change who I am.

I'm willing to let her go, as I have no intention of changing myself to make her feel better about her own hatred. The path is lonely, but at least it's an authentic path. I'm sorry for your troubles, but it seems to be a sign of the times.
