my daughter is 25, she lives away and we only get to meet up 3 or 4 times a year. we talk/text most days. Her father died 8 years ago and she doesnt like fact I have a new partner, although she has only met him once. She has dyspraxia,which was only diagnosed when she went to university a few years ago. Although I knew when she was 3 that there was a problem. She is doing well, has lovely partner, has returned to uni recently to study for her masters, bought an apartment, has good social life BUT she is so rude and uncaring, especially towards me! A friend of mine died over weekend from a heart attack. He had a problem with alcohol so my daughter just told me she isnt interested as he was an alcoholic and his family are "fools if there werent expecting this". Not for the first time I am shocked by her attitude and I told her so. She replied that she "has always told it how it is" and doesnt feign sympathy for people she doesnt like. Her father had a problem with alcohol and died of a cancer probably connected with this, she was very close to him but more or less told me last week I should never have married him and had her! I could go on and on but wouldnt know where to stop. She has suffered depression for some years and has been offered counselling but says she cant talk to anyone about the way she feels. On one hand I desperately want to help her but on the other hand I cant deal with her constant criticism and rudeness
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
