Olympia I really feel for you as I have a similar situation in my family. Although my DH is not my kids' dad as it is my 2nd marriage (we've been together for 20 years) I have 2 DD age 40 + 34 and a DS age 37. My eldest DD has over the years suffered depression and mental health issues and when she is down she lets it all out on members of the family. She seems to alternate not speaking to a certain family member after instigating an argument. It was my turn a few years ago. My ex husband died suddenly 5 years ago and prior to his death she hadn't spoken to him for 2 years even though he was always a good dad. My DS was a drug addict for 15 years and eventually successfully completed rehab and met a girl and rushed into marriage, buying a house (in her name) and having a baby. Making up for lost time we think. We knew they weren't right for eachother as there was friction from the start. His wife turned out to be have similar traits to my DD. The 2 - my DD and my DIL teamed up and turned my son against us and my other DD. (My DD sent me the most horrible hate messages which made me feel like a failure as a mum.) Then they all fell out as well. Now my DD has moved down to London and is not speaking to any of us. My DS and wife have split up and she won't let him or us see the baby. My youngest DD is heartbroken because she no longer has a brother or sister and her 2 little girls don't know their uncle and aunty. What a mess and a really tangled story. I was really upset all last year but have been to counselling and have to get on with my life and enjoy the 2 DGC I have contact with. I feel immense grief for the 'loss' of my eldest daughter who I obviously still love. I pray that she is happy and well in London and that nothing bad happens to her. My DH is a great support and always stays neutral.
Families!
