My adult daughter is so hateful and disrespectful what can I do
Just as I was raised to show respect to my parents and elders, so was my daughter. Somewhere along the road from age 18 to present she decided she could talk to me as she pleases, with such hate and disdain at times it kills my heart. I love my child with all my heart BUT I do not like her. She now has a daughter of her own, and although she is still very young, I am afraid that over time as she witnesses the way my daughter addresses me that she too will believe it is fine to talk to me as her mother does.
I have tried to get my daughter to see it from my side. I asked her to think about how much love she has for her daughter. Now imagine she spoke to you just as you speak to me. How broken would your heart be?
Basically she makes me feel she is only nice so she can have money, I buy her things or for rides. I am desperately afraid she will use my granddaughter to hurt me should she become angry at me. There were 2 years she wouldn't speak to me until she got pregnant and needed me.
What should one do?
