need a little insight

[fuzzy882]

Hi,
Im new here, I have been reading alot of the threads on here and you all seem so helpful.  I hope someone can put a little insight into my situation?  Im 51 yrs. old and I have been going through depression and anxiety for 25 yrs. now (on and off). I have a 29 yr. old daughter who is married now and has given 2 beautiful grandson 2 and 3 .  My mom and dad are living and have alot of med. problems,  I have 2 sisters and im so afraid that if anything happens to my parents that we will never be close again. You see so much has happened to once was a close happy family that its like we are all out for each others throats. I feel like im the only one who can see this. My sister has a set of 20   yr. old twin girls that take and take from my aging parents, steel from the family but my parents expect the family to turn the other cheek because they didnt have the priviliges growing up as my daughter did. My daughter married very well Im pleased to say and was brought up with morals and values. She has never asked for anything nor have I. My problem is that I am so angry at my parents and my sister because they just ignore my daughter and her sons (my grandsons) it has caused alot of depression and extreme anxiety on my part and I know alot of hurt with my daughter, even though she says it doesnt i can see it in her face.  I tell her how sorry I am but she always says its ok mom.  Please can someone out there put a little insight into this for me as i have never talked to anyone about this and I just cant seem to figure it out myself.  Thanks so much.

you have to let go of the things you can't control.  be proud of how you raised your daughter. take care of your parents.  the more time you stay mad, the more you'll regret it later on.  enjoy the time you have with your family.  :)

You know if your parents and si ignore your family well.. that is their loss. as harsh as this may sound you are probably better off without them. you cna sne them cards and such but outside of that I would cut them out. It is too much stress on you and you can better use your time and energy for your daughter and grandchildren besides kids know when thye arent wanted. they are pretty smart. you just enjoy them and get on with your life. I will pray though that your family changes their attitude.
