I am done with my daughter
Currently have a 20 year old. Soon to be 21 in November. Haven’t spoken to her in 2 years prior to this. I recently initiated contact with my daughter. She ended up unblocking my number so we could talk. All in all, I thought everything was fine as it seemed to be. She told me some great things, like she is living on her own now and has a job. She also said she is looking forward to getting her drivers license soon. As the conversation progressed, she began telling me about her boyfriend. Same boyfriend who uses her always asking for money in small sums says he’ll pay it back but doesn’t. She told me they are trying for a baby and she is hoping to become pregnant by February. I couldn’t hold back anymore I said are you stupid? You had an abortion at 18, now you want another child with absolutely no family support system and he is working 24/7 so how will he have time to equally split time between children when he already has 2 ? I said you guys have been dating 7 months, calm down. She then went on to say I was abusive her entire life and she’s had to heal from it, says she wants someone to share life with, “love on” and give up her freedom for. She said she wants nothing more than to be a mom.
I told my daughter straight up that she sounded desperate, I told her how does she know she is even able to get pregnant again? I said it’s been 4 months you haven’t gotten pregnant and you say you’re tracking. She then went on to say she’s tracking incorrectly or something like that. I honestly had a gap in my memory hearing her talk about this. She said I was being negative but what type of parent would I be to not tell her the truth? I want her to do better. My daughter does not need a child. She told me it’s honestly not my place to comment given she lives 2k miles away from me, but I told her she would need me sooner than I needed her. I raised my daughter, but I didn’t raise her to be like this. I’m honestly ashamed/disappointed. And I feel disrespected.
She wants to be disrespectful, fine but I won’t have any parts of it. I’m done this time. I don’t care if u hear from her anymore, my sanity is worth more.
Edit to add- for clarification before I got to the point of giving her my opinion I never cut her off while talking , I let her talk and I also spoke very calmly as you all suggested prior to me being real with her. When I was calm, she kept going on and on saying she was still gonna try for a baby no matter what. Tell me what you would do if this was your child
