Confused as to why I am saddened...

Well, first of all, I enjoyed Mother's Day with my 2 bio sons. My SD15 was not there - but she hardly is with us on Mother's Day anyway. However, I must say that it bothered me to the fullest yesterday that I didn't receive a text or a call from my SD15 to wish me a 'Happy Mother's Day.' I know we have our ups and downs, but I have to admit that I felt through it all, she should have at least called me or text me. And to be totally honest, ever since I have been married to hubby (7 years next month), she has ALWAYS called me and told me - or at least tried to get some type of gift.

I've read some of her facebook status, and they are very gross. She's out there so bad. She isn't listening to her mother, nor is she even talking to her father. Is it just 15 year olds that are 'ugh'? Should I just forget it and not worry about it, even though my feelings are truly hurt about it?

I mean, I even sent her texts the past couple of days saying I pray for her everyday, I am thinking about her, and I hope she accepts GOD and let HIM change her life. But, I guess that's all I can do.

I can't speak to your situation. I've given up. Yes 15 year olds are "ugh".
Sending her texts about praying for her may make it worse. Even though it is a nice thing.

Sorry your feelings were hurt.

I'd leave the god talk out of it. I doubt it is helping. It is probably further alienating her from you. Teenagers are difficult even in the best of family situations.

Thanks y'all for the advice. Talked to DH and told him that it's bothering me today. He said don't worry about it and let it go. So, I will not worry about it and let it go.

I'm realizing no one is perfect and praying for SD15 is the only PERFECT thing I can do right now for her. I'm officially disengaging.
