Last January I got a new phone with a new phone number. I called everyone and let them know. My daughter says that I didn't let her know and hasn't spoken to me in months and now has even blocked me from her phone. It's breaking my heart. I'm drinking way too much and am trying to cut back. I can't let her make me be dumb. But it's hard. My friends are worried about me, heck, I'm even worried about me. Thanks for letting me vent, I know there's nothing you can do, but writing it down seems to help a bit.

Does she live near? Can you visit?

She lives a block away. I've tried, she says she's not ready to talk. I can't fix something if she won't let me. I've invited he to lunch (via text) she won't respond. I'm ready to give up.

Give her the space she needs, but always remind her that you do love her. Don't give up on her, either. In time, I'm sure it will work itself out. Hugs

I agree with Yumi. Give her space then. I know it's tearing you up inside, but give her as much time as she needs. Some weeks ago, I asked my Mom to stop calling and emailing me. I was going through a depressive episode and needed some alone time. I know it tore her up inside, but I needed a chance to breathe and sort out my thoughts. As soon as I was ready, I started emailing her again. We've never had the best relationship, but asking her to back off didn't mean I didn't love her. Your daughter will reach out when she's ready.

Never give up, work hard on yourself, be prepared for rejection after rejection, she is expecting that you will give up, it's going to take time (a long time) for you to show her she that you aren't giving up.
