My s/d is about to graduate from college in May and will not have anything to do with us.
We have tried to reach out but nothing.It's been going on over three years now it's really bad on my kids because they care so much for her! what should we do?

I would just send b-day cards and xmas cards with your current address and phone number in them. Wait for her to reach out to you, hopefully she will come around.

And I agree with the other ladies. I don't mention my SD10 when she is not with us (she is with us EOWknd). Her name comes out of my sons mouth maybe 1x a month when she not at our home....when he is asked if he has sibilings he says "I have a little brother and my momma has a baby in her tummy. So I will have 2 brothers!"

I don't correct him. If she wants to be apart of their lives she should come over more--her BM lets her decide if she comes over more than that or not.

Thanks It's really hard on my Husband he wants to talk about when she was little and stuff he is the one that brings her up. I'll have to stop him from talking about her in front of the other kids.I just feel sorry for him and the kids.

It seems you have been through one hell of a trip with your SD's.I have been blessed my SD has stayed away thanks to her wonderful controlling mother.Dont get me wrong I have missed her,she was my little sweetie pie back in the days. She use to call me MOM LOL! and now she does'nt call at all it's really sad. It's not just hurting me but she will not talk to anybody on her father's side of the family even her last living Grandmother.Oh well I guess you could say her mother got what she wanted for my SD to hate all of us.

Well SD is out of college never once called or anything so now my Hubby knows its not the mom controling her its all SD sad but true. I told him it was all his daughter but he wouldnt believe me.However she is contacting my kids on FB now and all her pics have her and her stepdad in it so thats a slap in the face to my Hubby.It really sucks for my kids because they are so confused on why she doesnt come arround maybe one day things will change, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
