My daughter has recently given birth to a healthy baby and everything seemed to be fine. Now she has turned on me and her family.

Saying she was neglected as a child (which is not true) and this is causing her anxiety now. She won't talk to or see any of us and I am very hurt and angry as is all our family. My partner of 22 years passed away 10 months ago from a horrific cancer. Now I am feeling the grief of loosing my daughter and grandchild, which had given me a reason to go on. I cannot understand how she can be so cruel as she knows what I went through. I don't know how to resolve this.

If she won't talk nor see maybe write an email or letter to see if you can resolve anything.

Hope everything works out for you

take care

Is it possible she's suffering from post-natal depression? If this issue came out of nowhere maybe that's a possibility'; could you get a 'third party' not one of the people she's expressing anger with to suggest that she get a diagnosis? Your own pain and anger may also be getting in the way - find someone to talk to, a counselor or other professional to explore that. I feel for you, and hope that you can re-establish a positive relationship with your daughter.

I really can both empathise and sympathise with your situation.

Our children seemingly belong to a completely different era.

They reject their parents and deny them access to their grandchildren as a punishment,often on a whim,or displeasure at their demands not being met.

We have their childhood thrown back at us,often with no evidence to support their accusations.After all,we all make mistakes in life,including our children.

Unconditional love works both ways.I wasn't very close to my mother,but she was still my mum,and I wouldn't have ever treated her in the same way as I have been treated.

What is wrong with the world?Where is compassion,forgiveness and the willingness to put matters right?............I could write a great deal more!

My daughter began treating me really badly two years ago. A few years before this she called me every name under the sun. People used to comment how cruel she was even then. Now she's stopped me from seeing my baby granddaughter whom I adore. Her father never had anything to do with her for 30 years. I brought her up and she never lacked for anything. Her behaviour is crucifying me. There is absolutely no need to go to any of the lengths she has. I just thank god I have friends who support me and can see her behaviour is so cruel. I feel for you. I know what it's like believe me. xxxx
