I have to be honest, I’m not sure there is hope there. My aunt did this to the family. Completely disowned her father, her mother was already deceased. And never spoke to any of the family again. Honestly, she was just a very self-involved person. Even after my grandfather died and they tried to track her down for the small bit of money that he left her. She denied being the correct JJ. Like, she totally was.

People are weird. And it still hurts when they do these things.

I think all you can do is make it abundantly clear that you love her. And would like her in your life. At that point, it’s really up to her.

I am sorry that you are estranged from your daughter, I have been estranged from my parents. In my case it happened because I was tired of being treated like a child. I was tired of being trapped between two adults that are unhappy with themselves and unhappy with each other. They have been married for 60 years. I know they don't think they abused me but they did. I will not go into details of my childhood but they were far from loving and nurturing parents. I now have a relationship with them on my terms as an adult. It is not a deeply sentimental relationship but they are taken care of and are in a better place. You haven't given much information but I guess I wanted you to know that there is hope but it may not be exactly what you expect.

I will never understand why people act the way they do. Sorry you are going through this.

To me, it is so much easier/better to forgive someone than it is to turn my back on them.

All you can really do is let her know how much you love her and tell her if you have ever did anything to hurt her that you are very sorry. (write a letter) Let her know how much you want her a part of your life.

Hopefully, by continuing to show nothing but love, maybe it will soften up her heart and she will realize what she is missing. She is missing some of the closest people to her. Nothing in this life is worth holding something against your parents.

It is truly my hearts desire that she will come around.
