I have a daughter who has been very difficult to get along with, and as she grew older the relationship between us got only worse. Granted, I was not the best mother, but I had her young and I coped the best I could and nothing can change that.
She says the most hurtful and meanspirited things that hurt me deeply, and any attempts to talk to her have gone nowhere as she justifies her behavior, every time, saying that I deserve it. Anything I say, she'll contradict. Anything I do, she'll scold me without any respect to the fact that I'm her mother.
To make matters worse, she started counseling a few years ago with a therapist that basically told her that any attempts to better the relationship should be ON ME, but she didn't have to reciprocate.
She's not a child (she's 27 years old) and I refuse to have a relationship with anyone when I have to give 150% but she isn't required to give one iota in return. I prefer to move on with my life and wish her the best.
