What else could I have done?

I just want to say how sorry I am for what you are going through with your D. She does sound brainwashed. This anger she has, this venom she spews Id on't think are indicative of her true feelings for you as her father. She may also be looking for someone to blame for her mother never being happy, which I am sure had an impact on her.

Hang in there. I know my child problems are small compared to yours, but my heart really and truly goes out to you.

Thank you. Things were OK with she and I until I voiced my concern to her mom recently about some of the things my daughter was doing. Her mom told her what I'd said and that made her mad. Her older sis and her mom also had plenty to say to me in that awful text, they just did it through my daughter. She'd told me many times since her mom left that she forgave me for my wrongdoings and that she loved me. There were lots of times that her mom was happy, but she rewrote the marital history so that all good times were erased. I do think that a parent trying to poison their own child against the other parent, as my daughter has admitted that her mother did for over 18 months, is a pretty evil thing to do. Since her awful text, I still text her about once a week to let her know I'm thinking of her, even though I get no response from her.
