Prompt reaction #15
I'm at a loss... (actually she's got the lost)
You are so right, there are a lot of losses out there. If I took the time to share mine it would take a while, so I'll spare you the emotional strip tease and just speak of one. My lowest point in my life was when I divorced the mother of my first child. My daughter is now almost 19 and has decided just recently that she does not want her father, stepmother, or half brother and sister to be anywhere in her life. Now I don't want to sound cocky, but she will be missing out on a lot of good times. She will miss birthday parties, get togethers, and days together as a family. (obviously the list can go on and on.) I'm not sure why she would make this decision, she has told me some vague reasons, but I know her well enough to know when she's lieing, and I'm certain I don't know the whole truth. If you hold bitterness in your heart for some reason, it eats you up like a cancer. I think this is what's going on, but will never be able to confirm it. All I can do is hope that she will not cut things off to the point were she feels there is no way back. Now that's a loss.

Give her time and she will find her way back.
I agree with snowflake. If there's been no huge meltdown, if it's just vapors, depression, angst, and world-sadness, no bridges have been burned and sooner than you can imagine, she will be an adult having an adult's relationship with you.
