Anyone else going through this?
My daughter has anger issues. Has punched me in the nose before. Says the most dreadful things to me. Added items to our Verizon account and wouldn't pay. So I forced her off the account. After I had just allowed her to stay with me again. Her birthday is February 8 and she won't respond to my texts. Told my son she hates me because I'm so controlling. I'm trying not to breakdown Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk |

My opinion.....but if I am standing up for what I know is right & someone forces me to tough love them with their behavior, I really don't care if a spoiled brat hates me or not whether they are family of not. I just back awsy from them & let them do their thing. If they ever come around & realize what they are doing or have done, GREAT. If not, no big loss whether family of not. I don't have to tolerate bad behavior no matter who the person is

I am very sorry.
I’d say her not replying to your texts or when is her birthday is the least of your problems if punching people in the face is a normal thing for her. Keep your distance and hopefully she’ll come to her senses. You can’t change people. |

Done With The Crying - Parents of Estranged Adult Children: Help and Healing.
I recommend reading this book to help you cope and decide how to move forward. I read it a few years ago, during a situation with my son. I am relieved we have since repaired the issue. But, your situation sounds different in that it has been dysfunctional for a long time. My heart goes out to you and all parents who have had to cope with this.

I am in a rather similar situation—my 22-year-old son has not spoken to me in nearly 5 years—and may post about it soon. But I did want to send my sympathy and compassion to you. |

I am in a somewhat-similar situation. You are not alone. I promise.
My son (23) and my family had a volatile relationship growing up. I kicked him out and he's on his own now. We talk occasionally and are civil but the damage has been done. It's sad. |

And I spoke too soon. There is still friction with my son and DIL. I knew it was inevitable, but was hoping things would be better due to my efforts.
This category of dysfunctional relationship with a child is the most difficult one for me!

Estrangement from my child is exceptionally difficult for me as I'm adopted. I suffer abandonment issues and my adopted family was awful.
I tried so hard to be a different type of mother and ended up with loose boundaries and passive parenting. Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk |

But, let’s not put too much blame onto ourselves. There may be other factors here, like the role society played.
