DEAR ANNIE >> You recently DEAR CATHERINE >> I’m sorry you have firsthand experience with this issue as a family member, but I appreciate your sharing your insights. DEAR ANNIE >> I am a 63-year-old retired librarian. I divorced when my children were very young (4 and 6) and never remarried. I attempted a bit of dating, but for a variety of reasons, things never worked out.

My daughter, now 29, has recently completely alienated me because I can’t find my “own way.” Our often-prickly relationship took a turn for the worse when we both decided to relocate to Colorado in the upcoming year. I have lived in Colorado and New Mexico several times but have always come back (reluctantly) to the East Coast to address crises with both my daughter and my son (addictions, boyfriend problems, college graduations, etc.). In addition, my aging parents in Michigan have needed help in recent years.

I’ll admit I seem to be living out of my car, as I have given up several residences to travel to where I’ve been needed. I am not happy about this situation and am trying to extricate myself from all of my family’s messes. But why is my daughter so furious with me? She has her own life and is engaged to be married. I firmly intend to have a house and pets and a socalled life, but I am not a wealthy woman and cannot just snap my fingers and manufacture a lovely house with a white picket fence.

She won’t even speak to me! It’s hurtful, and she is selfish. Her tunnel vision is so bad that she can’t see that I am dissatisfied and not joyous about my present state. Both of my children seem to think I chose this solitary life. Believe me, if I could again snap my fingers, I would choose a far different life. What in the heck should I say or do? Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
