Resent My 19-Year-Old Daughter

[spinstermanquee]

Ugh.

 

Why do I feel so resentful of my daughter? It's not like she exists to taunt me or anything horrid like that. She is an awesome person.

 

Mostly I feel unappreciated for the last 14 years I raised her and did all the work.

 

Maybe the resentment I feel is misdirected and it should be towards my husband.

 

Just writing this has done me good, and helped me flesh it out. I cannot believe the power of eNA!!!!

 

Love you all, will work on my issues

Is it that you resent having had to give up things you could have done had you not been raising her?
