If you can't decide something, toss a coin and while it's in the air you will discover what side you are hoping it will land on .

Lady Star,
I have read your threads and it is very difficult to realize that our children are not what we have in our own minds to be. It is very hurtful and shocking at times. But you sound like a fighter. I know you're tired but you have still pushed through and are seeing that things may not be as you thought. Maybe a good nights sleep somewhere else and a couple of days to think about your plan of action might help. Wishing you peace.

JShe only talks to me when she NEEDS something. She never discusses anything of substance with me, nor does she ask me for any advice on anything! She never asks me how I am, (and I suffer from frequent migraines), is just totally unconcerned , and it HURTS so much. Her dad and I have devoted ourselves to both our daughters, and it just seems so futile that all that love, attention, concern that we have always shown her is not appreciated or returned in any way. I cry myself to sleep so many nights, because I MISS being close with her. Is that what life is? Is that the reward of (especially) a mother? All I want is for her to show her love, to ask me how I am once in a while, to include me in her thoughts, to share things with me. But she doesn't. If I try to share my feelings with her, because she is so oblivious, and she says that I'm trying to make her feel guilty. She doesn't comprehend that what I'm doing is trying to WAKE her up! Life is so short, and she doesn't realize that her dad and I won't be around forever. Only another mother who has gone through this can understand how I feel. Another sad night for me.
