Daughter won't communicate with me at all

My daughter has cut me off and she won't tell me why.
She won't answer texts from me or answer the phone.

I wake up each morning feeling sick; she is in contact with her siblings as if nothing has happened.

I feel like I have been erased.

My husband is much more optimistic than me, he thinks she will come round at some point. I think she may, with him, but I fear she won't with me. Hoping feels so painful. The scenario I fear is that she will be in contact with everyone but me.

I am keeping busy but my life feels hollow, to be rejected by your own child is excruciating and I cannot stop thinking about it.

She also insinuates that I am mentally ill.
It's an accusation that is very hard to fight against as it has no basis in reality.

I have offered to speak, to talk to a counsellor, to try and sort things out, but her siblings tell me she see's no point in trying. She also won't tell me what I've done.

This is so traumatic, I just love her so much.
I feel so alone. I don't know anyone else who is going through this. It has been 6 months.

This thread was about communication, its turned into an attack on estranged parents and anybody who dares to challenge VS on her views,

It was ever thus petra; they always had zero tolerance for dissent, both in their current username and all their previous ones. They've chased away many a poster over the years with their bullying.

Has your daughter by any chance had some therapy? If she has the therapy may not be of the best. A temporary estrangement of this sort happened to my sister.

You need to wait and leave the door open.
