I Missed Six Years Of My Twenty Two Year Old Daughter's Life In Prison. She Said That She Doesn't Know Me And Doesn't Want To

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tulsa, OK

My daughter has turned against me and has told lies about me. She said I was texting her passive aggressive statements. She didn't know that I have every text messages from the past seven years. Only short messages like I love
you or I miss you. Now she is ignoring me which is very passive aggressive in itself. I don't know how to handle this!''!?!'"!)+??
Our birthdays are two days apart and used to do something together.

I can just sense how overwhelming this situation is for you. As someone who had her ups and downs with her Dad... and he would always make me take the adult lead. Let her be your little girl, no matter how old she is. You may think that she's being passive aggressive but there is no positive that will come from saying this outloud. Tell her you love her, and that you really hope to talk to her as soon as she's ready. Sometimes... we just need to go through things on our own. I hope that this doesn't sound too pushy or like I'm giving advice, however this has just been my own lived experience. Sending you good vibes!

Sorry that you're going through that. Maybe she just needs some time to figure things out

Sounds like she has resentment as you were gone from her life.Just keep trying and let her know your there when she is ready. Tell her how much she means to you and ask what you can do to make it work. Hope this helps.
