I have a 23 year old daughter who is very beautiful. She lives in California and I moved away from CA in 2006. She has been very mean to me since she was about 12-13 years old. She twists anything and everything I say into something negative and turns around and yells at me, cusses at me, and calls me bad names. She thinks she can tell me what to do and gets mad at me when I don't do what she wants.
My daughter is an event organizer (in her area) for a major charity that raises money for cancer research. She makes herself out to be a wonderful person who will do anything for anyone, especially disabled people. But she treats me like s***.
I feel like never talking to her again. I miss my sweet little girl but I don't want this mean, disrespectful adult. I don't call her because I never know if she will yell at me or not but I can't keep pulling my hair out when she decides to call me. She is a big bully.
I don't have anything to do with my parents or son for the same reasons. Now I have to cut her out too.
What would you do in this given situation? Have any of you been in this situation before?
I have actually played the role of the angry daughter who does not get along with her parents either. Like your's I have been guilty of saying ugly things to my parents and siblings. That is because they don't understand me the way that they should or I feel like they don't listen to me. My mother and sister sound a lot like your daughter.
It sounds like you love your daughter she loves you but what is happening is two things
1. You are both oil and water.
2. She may have something going on inside of her but it's not right that she is taking out on you and that's not fair.
Have you two thought about going through some online or over the phone counseling together? If not just leave her alone. She has problems of her own.
