My relationship is very tense with my dd. She now lives across the other side of the country and wants me to sell up and move near her. I am happy where I am, i have a home and friends and considering moving to a flat which will be more manageable. The background is that she does not like my boyfriend. My dd and I had an estranged relationship for a year because of it and she refused access to my gc. We spoke again when her marriage dissolved and to be frank she needed money. We get along now but it is very clear that I have to conform. My partner and I split up briefly and during that time I somehow ended up putting in an offer for a house near her subject to contract. This will make be totally reliant on her, I won't have friends and will need to start again. Now partner and I are back together, we love each other dearly and we have sorted out our problems. How on earth do I tell her I want to stay here with him without ending up estranged again. I've got myself into such a mess. Please advise what you would do. Thank you.

Well ...if you needed confirmation that you should stay where you are and live for you.. you certainly have it now!
Ungrateful, disrespectful and downright rude.
Move on with your own life and don't bend for anyone. Be happy!

lucyloo12 Wow that's alot

The one thing that stuck out for me is that your daughter had the guts to stop you seeing your grandchild, in my book that is just evil and says alot about the kind of person she is... Unless your not telling us something about the guy your with,, why doesn't she like him??

If there is nothing seriously wrong with him and she just does3like him then yes she is evil to stop you seeing your grandchild and she sounds spoilt and manipulative and I have to say because we are telling it how it is is that you ena le her because You are the Mother not her but it sounds like she wants to be Mother and a bossy manipulate mother

My advice is do what makes You happy But make sure to involve your grandchild in your life what ever that takes
