I can probably top any problem anyone has here. My oldest daughter hates me. Today is her 41st birthday. She came to hmy home town to visit her husband's family not me but said she would meet with me. She was so angry and caused a scene in the restaurant, would not let me see her two girls did not even bring them along. When I stopped by to give her her camera which she left at the restaurant her children were standing 50 feet from me and still she would not let me talk to them. They are 13 and 15. She has taken them away from me intermittently at least 3 times since they were born claiming I was just not good enough.

When did this start?

If you give us more background into your earlier relationship with her it might help us help you.

I'm sorry that you're going through this.

When did this start, and why? Does she give any reasons she doesn't like you and why she doesn't allow you near her kids?

This can't all be coming out of nowhere, there's usually a reason why.

I'm actually very sure there is a reason for this. A 41 year old woman doesn't just decide one day to be hateful and keep her mother out of her life. What happened to make her this way? Does she have reason to fear for her children if you are around? When did this start. What made her angry at the restaurant. And what do you mean 'cause a scene'

I agree with the others. Either there is more to the story in regard to your relationship in the past, or she truly has some emotional issues that need to be addressed professionally. Perhaps a combination of both?
