I was always reading about triangulating on here and thinking it didn't really apply to my situation as my daughter wasn't speaking to me anyway. This morning reading another post, I realized that is exactly what she has done, she is not in contact because apparently I have not done enough to get her siblings to accept her. There are the three points,me, her and the sibs, don't know how I missed it. Now I will have to research that, and see any suggestions.

Have you checked out the tool link to the right? It gives a really good definition and link to a workshop. Maybe you can figure out a way to be a positive influence in this triangle -- as long as you can keep taking care of yourself along the way.

Good for you! Those moments are really rewarding - gaining more understanding gives us more to work with. Let us know what you think about your new findings, ok?
