Have you ever gotten in a fight with someone because you told them what was bothering you and instead of them apologizing, they find a way to make you feel bad about it. So you are left regretting even saying anything. ย

Wow Deb, we have a very similar situation with our daughter. My husband is a retired successful realtor as you are. A very people oriented person and good listener. Our daughter has mostly lived with her mom (Iโm a step-mom) but her dad and I always lived nearby. We did everything possible to support her, college, cars, wedding. However, she was not was good to us. She never asked how we are doing or what we might need. Her dad wasnโt stingy, but he wanted her to learn to make her own way in life, so he preached saving money. None of his โadviceโ was well received. She got married and had 3 children and things got even worse. We never get a call or a card. Sheโs mean and uses the silent treatment a lot. Sheโs always โnot feeling wellโ so thereโs nothing to talk about. I donโt have an answer for you. Weโve decided thereโs nothing we can do and we have had enough of the bad treatment. The way we are handling the situation is we have stopped calling, stopped sending cards and money for the grandkids. It hurts alotโฆ.but each day we are feeling a bit stronger. My husband is a retired very successful realtor as you are. Christmas this year is cancelled at our house. We refuse to buy more gifts for her and her family when thatโs the only time of year they managed to come over. Last year they stayed 2 hours and we havenโt seen them since!
