Posted by justme You need to separate your issues from you daughter's, I realize that these issues tend to get passed on from generation to generation but at some point, there should be reconciliation and healing, not finger pointing and blaming. Have you a counselor and are you on anti-depressants? You need to start healing yourself, believe it or not, many of us have suffered the same parental issues as you have, especially those of us with alcholic and/or chemically dependent parents. Once you have healed your issues with your family of origin, you can start mending fences with your daughter. Somehow you need to get a positive spin on life, stop dealing with the negative parental issues, and learn to pass that positivity on to your daughter. Good luck. justme

Well, could you blame yourself any more than you have already done? The past is past, you got a crummy hand dealt to you but you are an adult now and can deal with it anew. And once you have done so, you can be a strong and supportive role model for your daughter.
