My oldest daughter lives in Tennessee with her teenage son and new husband. Some years ago, we had an argument and our relationship has been strained ever-since. I know I wasn't the perfect Mom when my kids were growing up but I thought I did the best I could. Perhaps I could have done a lot better but I didn't know that at the time. The stresses of being a divorsed mother, not knowing how to manage money or my own life or how to raise 3 kids on my own really took its toll.
This past weekend the floods in Tennessee worried me and I contacted her through Facebook. She is cordial with me and assured me that they were alright. Facebook seems to be the only way of communication and the only way I can see what's going on in my daughters life. Being estranged really sucks.
