I didn't intend to be so harsh, and I'm sorry for that. For the first year of my daughter's estrangement I beat the ***** out of myself for having considered myself a "terrific mom" when obviously, I wasn't. It took a lot of communicating with others and doing a tremendous amount of self-searching to conclude that yes, I had been an excellent mom. My daughter can be selfish (she's not perfect, just as none of us are) and high-maintenance. She's also a super-terrific woman. No matter what she does to me, I will love her forever. I know now that if anything, I was too indulgent with her. But it's okay...it'll all work out some day - hopefully sooner than later.
