I am a daughter and disowned my entire family at 18, I have not spoken to them in almost 7 years, and after reading these comments, I had to comment from an honest perspective.I highly doubt your daughter separated from you for a dumb or no reason.It is a very big choice to make because it leaves you alone in the world without a support group. Itu2019s not something you do for fun or over a petty argument. I can guarantee you that you have done something very, very wrong and damaging for your daughter to make such a huge decision. The answers here patting you on the ass saying u201coh itu2019s her itu2019s not your faultu201d really make me very angry.In my case, my family was severely abusive emotionally and physically the entirety of my childhood and had issues with drugs and alcohol. I spent my entire childhood wanting to die and actively trying to die. I couldnu2019t see my life lasting past my 18th birthday because I was so deadset on killing myself to escape.When I turned 18, I left and never turned back, and immediately my mental health got so much better. I started having motivation for the future, I could focus on my goals, I didnu2019t have to worry about the derogatory comments my family would make or sleep with a knife under my bed in case they tried to come for me while I was sleeping. My life has gotten significantly better in every shape and form since I have cut my family out of my life.My mother likes to run around and act like a victim, however, and has made attempts in the past to come and try to find me, including coming to my apartment complex (which I have no idea how she even found, because I sure as hell didnu2019t give her my address) and knocking on every single door screaming my name. My window was open at the time, so I had to lay on the floor and hide and pray she didnu2019t see me. My mother tells everyone that I just abandoned her for no reason, that she wasnu2019t abusive, that I was the one with the issue.And that is why I will never speak to her again. I honestly canu2019t wait for the day she dies so that I never have to have the small worry in the back of my mind that she will try to find me and do god knows what. Even though I live very, very far away from her now, it still bothers me.If you truly want a relationship with your daughter, reflect on your own actions. You did something wrong. You need to own up for it and make changes. Even if you do, if the damage is too severe, it may be too late to repair things, but the only way you can fix things for sure is to try and redeem yourself.
