My Daughter Contacted Me After 15 Years — Now I’m Struggling to Trust Her
People often say much about the almost legendary bond between mothers and children. However, not all relationships are equal, as this reader shows, with her somewhat tragic story. This woman feels that too much time has passed and things between her and her daughter may never go back to the way they once were. Also, she’s distrustful of why the daughter wants to get in touch with her.
“I am in my 60s now, divorced, with two grown-up kids. I also have end-stage can:cer.”
My son is close to me and is happily married. My daughter and I are estranged, and haven’t spoken in 15 years. I don’t blame her, I had an af-fair and broke the family. Although I was in an unhappy marriage, that does not justify it, and I still regret it to this day. He was my boss, the affair went nowhere, and we called it off shortly after.
I felt guilty about it all and didn’t want it to remain a secret. I confessed everything to my husband and children. At the time, my daughter was 15 and my son 10. Things went downhill from there.
