Post Partum Depression BehaviorNEW by: Laura Ramirez
Hi Debra,
Could post partum depression behavior be the reason for how your daughter treated you? Could this be why she kicked you out of the house?
Absolutely.
Does it excuse what she did?
Absolutely not.
It sounds like you have been there every step of the way for your daughter (although I would have to talk to you in person to find out more...you may want to consider my parenting coach service for in-depth help.)
You have given your daughter a number of opportunities to own her behavior and apologize, yet she has refused to do so. She wants you to continue to be a part of her life (at least in terms of helping her with her children), yet she is unwilling to make amends for the hurt she caused when you were trying to help. I support you in standing up for yourself and demanding that this issue be resolved.
This is the challenge for every parent: how to bridge the gap in our relationship when our children (grown or not) act in ways that are immature, hurtful, inhumane or irresponsible. We never really stop raising them, do we?
