My daughter who is 38 wont talk to me and hasn't for a while now, I miss her and my 3 Grandkids. When ever I send her an email she never writes back to me. Should I just give up and let her contact me when she's ready? I sign my emails ....Mom, I love you...please give me some advice !

STOP EMAILING- when did we become so dependent on the digital way of communication. If you want to reconcile with your daughter, get your butt over to her house and make it work.

All you can do is keep your arms open. She will eventually come around even if it's just when she needs you badly. I'll pray for you and your family.

Thank you hun, but I wrote her this morning telling her that " I have no respect for her as a daughter and that she was a disappointment to me" I know that that wont help matters any but I so felt the need to express my feelings....maybe I am a bad Mom

We have gone through that for years now with my youngest sister.  She has gone 3 - 4 years at a time without speaking to any of us.  She will get mad over any little thing and then won't speak to any of us.  Her sons didn't know any of us at one time.  Her youngest was 1 1/2 years old before we saw him the first time.  The sad part now is that she lives 400 yards from my parents' home and has to pass by there when she goes anywhere.  She has only been mad at us for going on five months this time....  We didn't get to celebrate my nephew's 16th birthday with him, either.  She'll be back around again when she needs something from one of us.  It never fails....

My sister did this to me and what I did was just show up at her door and hoped that she would not shut it in my face.  She didn't! We were able to talk it out and now are on good terms again.  Always keep the communication open.

You might not like my answer but you might just have to let it go until and if she comes to her senses.  Life is short and I hope she doesn't have to spend part of hers regretting not having a relationship with you.  I have the same issues with my sister and brother and I finally just gave up.  I don't know now if I could even re-establish a relationship with them if they came to their senses.  Well best of luck to you I am sure this is a hurtful situation for you.

Because of experiences in my life, I believe that you should not keep pursuing someone who's made it clear they want nothing to do with you.  Your door should always be open to them when/if they choose to return, but don't pursue them.  I know that can be very hard when the estranged person is your child, but when you continually chase people who've decided to reject you, you only aggravate them and deepen their dislike of you.  Groveling, pleading, acting desperate and needy, just breeds contempt for you.  Handling yourself with respect, while respecting the wishes of your prodigal loved one, is a better course of action.  No, it won't guarantee a reconciliation, but it does mean you can go on with your life with your self-worth intact.

I guess it depends on what caused the problem in the first place

Daughter still not talking but life goes on ugh....thank you to everyone who gave me advice!

[dreamyxo]

You were completely wrong and if she never speaks to you again it's all your fault.

Ok which part am I wrong about in your eyes? just curious, and thanks

So, sorry about your situation but I wonder, maybe she'd changed her email address therefore she's not getting your emails.
