im guessing that she is a teenager don't give up try to keep talking to her she may be very depressed.  on the flip side when my son was in second grade my wife went to work and didn't get home til after five being left with me more often  he stated talking a whole lot more and said that mom and sissy talked so much he couldn't get a word in.

I am guess that she is NOT a teenager...

Some people are just like that. You have to decide for yourself if they are worth the effort.

I am not sure, but mothers always love there children no matter what, but sometimes you have to stop worring and stop being hurt by what children do to us because they know we will always be there for them.

You know, each child is different. You know your child best.  I've got one child that is very attention seeking and one child that isn't. The one that is attention seeking will back chat me a lot.  Then he will go silent and moody.  I think you should decide if the best way to deal with it is to not pander to the child or whether further investigation is necessary.  I would hate for your child to feel that no further investigation on your part were taken as they are not worth it, but likewise if they are always pushing your buttons then perhaps "least said, soonest mended" is the best approach. You know your child best.

That can really be a sad situation.  I have a very close friend who hasn't talked to her daughter in almost 1 year.  The daughter us in her early 20's, thinks she knows everything there is to know about everything, but it's still sad and I know my friend is hurting and misses her daughter.  Thank God my two girls and I have a good relationship.  That doesn't mean we haven't fought, but we have never stopped talking.  There is something about a mother's love that is so special.  I hope you and your daughter can reconcile again.

It depends on what all as happened.  Lots of times a kid and parent have a fallout.  Not knowing the situation it's hard to give an opinion.  What happened to cause her to stop talking to you?  I know of situations like this.  Was a son and father.  They didn't speak for over 2 years.  The son finally made the first move.  They talk some now.  Have you made an efforts to talk to her?  If you all had a fall out then somebody has to make the first move.  Either somebody has to apologize even if they feel they are not wrong or you just have to move past it.  It will take effort from both of you.  But if she keeps rejecting you and wants nothing to do with you then there is nothing you can do and no you aren't wrong for moving on with your life.

I don't know the circumstances but if that's her choice I would try not to worry about it.

I personally would drive her crazy and talk to her anyway.

My mom is going through the same thing. Only it's with her own mother. My grandma is not a nice person and has never been with my mom. We moved out to Colorado to help her, which she complained a lot over the phone before about not having anyone, and then it became hell on Earth. She even called the cops on us. Some people, family included, you just have take a step back from.

We can not make our adult children do as we want, we have raised them and they don't always do as we thought we were teaching, so I say you are not wrong. We are only human, I suggest you make an occasional effort to reach out and show your love ( a card works) but you can not chase others around your whole life. Good luck.

Life is way too short for that.  Lost time can never be made up.  I don't know what happened to cause this situation but for the grandbabies sake, I would do everything I could to patch things up even if it means swallowing my pride to do so.

I have tried to email her, call her and she wont answer either...I apologized to her for something that SHE did NOT me but it all falls on deaf ears...

I am 43 and I have become estranged from my father. I haven't spoken to him in a couple years. I have two small children. I say it is his loss for missing out on seeing his grandchildren grow up. I have done my part in trying to make an effort in communicating with him but he won't return the favor.
