Things have been tough with my 23 yr old dd recently but we’re both grieving the loss of my husband and her dad 6 months ago. She finds it hard to talk or deal with how she’s feeling and that results in me taking the brunt of it. I understand that but recently she’s been very angry about things in the past and has rubbished everything about her childhood. She’s angry at me as a mother and how I brought her up. I’m so upset about how I was, quite strict, didn’t let her do everything she wanted just because everyone else was, but because she’s so angry there’s no room for forgiveness or to prove I can do better.
I don’t agree with how she remembers everything and do remember lots of happy times, I’ve supported her and always been behind her and have done everything to care for her in the last 6 months.
Today I just feel so alone, I have no one I can turn to that will support, understand or care about me. I know how pathetic that sounds. I’m so upset about everything and desperately miss my husband and wonder why I’ve been left here alone, it feels like a punishment. Sorry I’ve got to tell someone.
