My daughter ignores me on every holiday, even Mothers Day. She is my only child and treats me poorly. She will contact maybe only once or twice during the year. When she does all we talk about is her and how well she is doing. She is successful but treats me bad. Even though I am used to this behavior it still hurts me something terrible. She also lies about me to her friends which also hurts. I think the lies are to give credence to her behavior. Any suggestions on what I can do to stop being so depressed on the holidays when she ignores. This has been going on for many years.

My sister treats my mother the same way pretty much. They live pretty close to each other and have cars.
I would say that maybe you should get out and make friends if possible. Do things with them. Don't count on your daughter. My mother joined a senior citizens center and they go caroling and to Heinz Hall and a lot of outings.
I would visit her more but she is always gone now and I live too far away with no good transportation.
I haven't had anything to do on holidays for a few years since I don't have good transportation but if and when I do I would like to go to help in the kitchen at homeless shelters.

I don't know what you can do to get your daughter to treat you better.
Would asking her to go out to lunch with you sometimes and trying to talk with her more help?
