Her behavior has been hurtful for some time but this latest slap in the face was a last straw for me. I guess I’m taking a sabbatical from my daughter and from other toxic people for some time (I’m thinking months) until I get a little further down the road of healing. It is what it is.

Ooooh, ouch. I am really, really sorry that your daughter has done that to you. That hurts. My daughter fairly frequently talks with David and occasionally sees him, when she's in Calif. It was me, not my husband, who was there for her without failure while she was growing up. He was a good dad in many ways - but definitely did not have the level of parental devotion that I did, no way. I can't help but think that my daughter is purposely trying to hurt me (for God knows what reason) by communicating with him, but not with me.
I'm just saying...I know all too well the mean sting of such a thing. Feels really super when you're already down and they give you a good, hard kick.
I'm sorry, Jennifer
