Daughter is not speaking to me

Pleased things have settled down and hopefully will be all back to normal soon.

Glad things are settling down. It's sad when families fall out. Sometimes least said, soonest mended.

Thanks for your suggestions. I did consider writing a nice card but ended up sending a small parcel for the children. Too much repentance probably but she is melting a little. We've only texted but I think the rift is beginning to heal now. I will remember to give her space.

Why don't you send her a nice card not email, write down everything you need to say, don't blame her just say how you feel and that you are upset that this has happened, you love her and the children more than anything and you only want the best for them etc. etc. Then say please get in touch soon miss seeing speaking to you. Put the ball in her court and wait until she gets in touch which I am sure she will when she has calmed down.

Ditto above.

You’ve done your bit. Now it’s up to her. You won’t help the situation if you overdo the repentance and by doing that you are making out it was all your fault.

Give her space.

Give her a little space Grammaretto and time to cool down and reflect. Once some time has elapsed try again to heal things. It can be stressful with small children and we often take our frustrations out on our nearest and dearest. I'm sure this too will pass.
