I need help as far as treating a daughter like a daughter
Hello everyone,
I am asking for help! I have a 33 year old daughter who it seems is always coming up with "why can't you treat me like a daughter should be treated, I have my own family and you just don't treat me like a daughter should be treated". What am I going to do here? I have been wracking my brain to try to come up with a solution but I am lost! I keep asking her what she means when she says that to me and she says I have to figure it out myself! Duh, what is there to figure out if I don't know what I'm doing wrong? I say the wrong things because every word that comes out of my mouth is being judged right after it has been spoken--She has been sick most of this past week so yesterday my husband and I had to go to Rice Lake with a truck for his work; I asked if the children would like to ride along and then when I went to pick them up she was very distant with me; then it came out that No, I didn't have to do her a favor by taking the children if they stayed home they would just have to work for her around the house. She said her head was just spinning right now and I needed to leave her alone. On Wednesday of this past week I receive an email that states "you are so lucky to not have to deal w/any addictions. Life sucks for the rest of us. Thanks for helping me to realize this". AND then I get told I don't treat her like a daughter should be treated. HELP! She's the only daughter I have and I can't go on living this with way, not knowing when the next bomb will explode.
