Hi I'm new to Mumsnet and just need some support. My dd27 will not talk to me - she lives locally but we don't see each other very often, we used to be fairly close. During our last conversation at the beginning of lockdown she admitted she has an issue with me, but didn't say what, we were arguing at the time. The argument started on mother's Day when she said she was too stressed to talk to me. (She was worried about her business due to covid). She has anger issues and and is extremely rude and short and impatient towards me, she has no respect for me as a Mum in the way I respect my mum for just being my Mum. I told her I don't want to put up with the disrespect any longer and since then she hasn't wanted to speak to me. I get that she's got issues but I am struggling with the estrangement and feeling angry and hurt that she's treating me with no care, it breaks my heart. I can't believe that I'm in this situation, I am questioning myself. My Mum wasn't perfect but I would never treat her in this way. My husband doesn't get this treatment and he says he doesn't want to take sides. I feel awful, sad, tearful and scared.
