My 24-year-old child is still raging at me daily. Says she does not want a relationship. That would be a respite, frankly, if true. She immediately calls back to repeat it. When I stop answering, I'm "ignoring" her.
I've responded that I understand her anger over past things; I'm trying to do things differently. But since I'm not doing the things SHE wants, I'm selfish.
Ex #1: After being sworn at, I text that I care AND I'll talk to her again in a few days. She'll immediately rage call & text. When I don't pick up - I'm rotten and have not changed.
Ex #2: Says we never offer to see her and don't care. Huh??? We've asked to come every weekend! I've driven there and she wouldn't see me. I try to validate - I see you feel that we don't care. Her response - Knock it off - I don't "feel." It's true. You don't care. You are horrible.
Ex #3: She's furious we travel in winter. We validated - I'm sorry, we didn't know you would feel left alone. Her response - ok, well, now you know, so you're not going, right? Her: I'm not doing well, and you just want to go on vacation (we work). You are horrible.
Ex #4: She calls to tell me she's blocking me. I say, I understand. If you change your mind, I'm here. Immediately call & call & call to repeat it, and add that I'm selfish, etc. I usually text and say - I hear you. We can talk tomorrow. Response - more rage texts and swearing.
I share all this not to burden you, but to give you real-life examples. I suggested we could all try to make a fresh start and try to repair the relationship, but she said no. But then she'll say we don't try. If you can't JADE, what do you do in these calls?
I would welcome your experience.
