I decided I would drop her stuff off but not now. This would look too spiteful and I don't want that.
I will take her stuff to her Dads closer to my move date.

I was thinking back to when I was her age. My parents went to Europe and I went with a friend to a place 3,000 miles away. My parents thought we were staying with my friends married sister but we only did that for a week. The rest of the two months we hitch hiked, stayed in hostels, slept on the beach all night. etc. etc. Had a wonderful freedom filled time.

When I returned home my parents picked me up at the airport. My Mom hugged me and asked me if I missed her. I just shrugged and thought about how much I was giving up going home. My parents I thought would always be there. I didn't think of them at all while I was away, I'm sorry to say. It was all about me.

So, I think this is the same for my daughter. It is not that she doesn't care, she is just too caught up in her life. I think I should get a little more selfish myself and take care of myself better. I spend far too much time worrying and doting on my kids and don't do what I want to do and then I sometimes resent them.

So, moving on today. Getting past the hurt feelings and focusing on my needs for a change.
