I will try to make this as concise as is possible. Background, two daughters, divorced their father along time ago, remarried to DH opposite of their father, kind, patient, fun . Divorced their father because of domestic violence. Now to problem, daughters are like opposites, don’t get on that well. Eldest has had several toxic relationships, two children no partner at present. Other daughter happily married with children. Eldest is the problem. Social services are involved but don’t seem to be helping. Children do not have any discipline. Love them as they are my GC but....... find it very difficult when we are together as they don’t respond to anything just misbehave. Their Mum and I have difficult relationship, she is very close to her father and the way she treats me borders on contempt. I don’t understand her relationship with her father after she witnessed the violence . Other daughter rarely sees her father. If it wasn’t for the GC I think I would become estranged from my daughter, which I feel so guilty about, but she rebuffs any feelings I show
to her and has no conversation, just plays on her phone the minute she comes in. I think she desperately needs a lot of counselling, but she refuses it. She blames everyone else for the wrong things in her life and feels she is entitled to so much more......sorry for rant I feel a bit better just writing it down. But it is just that I don’t know what if anything I can do to improve things for her the children and our relationship. Ideas anyone
