    My daughter won't talk to me.
    My daughter is 24 years old, and I made the biggest mistake known to man. I let her have what she wanted. When she was 23, My husbands parents had to move out of their home and I had my daughter move in because it was time for her to be on her own. The idea was for her to be in the house so it was not empty and then we would some day sell it. We only charged her minimal rent and she painted and did some improvements. We would love her to buy the house but she does not have a good paying job. She loves her job, but she can't afford to buy a house. We now want to sell it and she is mad. I think she thinks we should continue to pay her way and let her stay. We bought her her first car, and she took over her grandpa's suv after he died... and we didn't say anything... let her drive it for winter driving. So she has two vehicles...

    I told her we are selling the house and now she isn't speaking to me. I know I have made the mistake of doing too much for her. I pay for groceries... I help her out when she needs money... I get her clothes... etc. She never tells me thank you... or that she loves me, or gets me anything on any special day like I did for my mother... and it kills me. I know I spoiled her and I could just kick myself. How stupid could I be.

    I can't sleep, or function without her in my life. We did so much together and we were so close. I don't know what to do. I send her " I am sorry texts"... I know this is all my fault... it was all my doing. I get no response.

    What should I do... any ideas... I am waiting her out... I know she will someday need us... but it is killing me. All I do is cry. I am devistated... and I did all this myself...

    First of all it's not all your fault. Second she should know better. Third don't give up hope on her, she will eventually turn around and acknowledge her, just got to remind her of the good times!

    Thank you... yes that is what I am hoping for. I just saw on Facebook she is looking for an apartment... maybe she will get a taste of the REAL life and she will know what she had.
