Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Sadly, I have a daughter similar. She was such a giving young woman, but she changed after drug addition. Plus she has a bipolar diagnosis and doesn't keep up with her medications. She and I do not speak either. Actually, in an odd way, you expressing how you actually need to be away from your daughter out of self-preservation, makes me feel a little better about feeling the same way. In my case, my daughter uses her abusive father's language to manipulate me. Instead of taking on my traits, she has learned to survive by her father's manipulations. It has been close to a year since I've spoken to my oldest and my life has been drama free that whole time.

Birthday's are the hardest. It is when we remember holding them in our arms for the first time and all the dreams we had for the future. It hurts facing those disappointments, I know.
