You know how we parents want to SAVE our children all the time. I thought being super nice to her; she would see me as she saw me years ago. She works in a city 1/2 hour away, and I bought flowers and drove them to the front desk to deliver to her. For no occasion but "I love you." (she did thank me)

I went to her house when she was out of town and watched a movie WITH HER DOG to be kind because she was worried about him. I bought her a gown to wear to the wedding we went to in DC because she said she was too fat to find a dress. I went shopping and found a beautiful one. It fit her perfectly. None of this mattered to her. I'm fighting a losing battle here.
