As not to drip feed: husband left me when my little girl was just 3. He disappeared and then reappeared with a GF . He eventually got married to yet another GF, but had her every other weekend - literally just every other weekend, no school visits - nothing. I feel like I brought her up and made her into a lovely child, but since she has grown up (and living with her boyfriend) her father is the center of her world and she treats me with absolute disdain. The sun shines out of him, and she puts me in the shade. She laughs at me when I cry and tell her Im hurting. She doesnt like my kind sweet husband who has done nothing wrong to her. She thinks I could dress better have my hair different etc etc.
I would like to hear from anyone who is in my daughters position who has the same kind of relationship with her parents and what i could do to make her, well, like me I suppose. I hoover up any sort of crumbs of love I get from her and I feel so sad with it all.
Has anyone got any kind advice for me?
