My 2 daughters.

[Geishawhelk]

Some of you may know that when I separated from my ex-h, my 2 daughters chose to sever contact with me, and I have not spoken to them for 4 years.

 

I do not propose to enter into detail about whys and wherefores, but an uplifting, optimistic and positive update is that, after a holiday trip with my parents, my eldest daughter (25) and I have started communicatng again. We have written e-mails regularly and spoken on the phone.

general, tentative harmless chat for now. Time soon enough for maybe deeper or more probing discussions.

My younger daughter has also received a long e-mail from me, but as yet, there has been no response.

This in all probability is more a sign of her age and activities with her BF, than anything else, so my eldest informs me!

 

But it's a start.

 

Thanks to all those who spoke to me encouraging and comforting words, without rancour, probing or judgement.

I just thought you - and you know who you are - might like to know.

I guess I'm happy for you, But seriously I'm the same age as your daughter and you constantly anoy me. But then again shes probably more like you then I am good luck reconnecting

I'm truly happy for you and your daughter Geishawhelk. Hopefully, your younger daughter will start responding to your communications soon as well.

That's wonderful news, Geishawhelk!! I'm happy for you!

this is fantastic news, Geishawhelk – I'm thinking that now she's an adult, she's going to see/appreciate a whole new dynamic to y'alls relationship. I know I did with my mom after moving away from home for a couple of years!

 

meanwhile, don't give up with your other daughter, she just needs time to wrap her head around the possibility of a different kind of relationship with you.
