disappointed mom

I read Dr Coleman's book, it was hugely helpful for me to see I was not alone. I have 2 grown daughters whom I've done so much for and have loved and provided for. Even in their adulthood when they had trouble, I was there to rescue and house my daughter and her 2 sons for well over a year, and give her money and help her move and get settled in. the other one, who due to her own actions wound up evicted from her apartment. I stepped in and provided her with money and relocated her and her husband, put them up for 2 months and got them an apartment not far from us. Now after all that, they have both turned on me, I had surgery for suspected cancer about 8 months ago, and no one was interested if it turned out to be cancer or not. To this day none of them know either way. Makes me feel as though they really don't care if I live or die. My oldest daughter cut me off completely from my little grandson, I send him gifts, cards, etc and never receive any acknowledgement if those gifts, cards etc are even received, never mind a thank you for them. I don't even know these girls, they are cruel beyond measure, and I have had to come to terms that I can't subject myself to the disappointment anymore. Last year I took 200 sedatives in an attempt to kill myself, it didn't work. I have decided I have to live my life enjoying what I can, my cats, my husband and I have a good relationship and he is very supportive of me around this issue. I've prayed, I've asked them for reasons why they're like this to me and they just hang up on me. So there you have it. I never thought that your own flesh and blood could be so so cruel. It's heartbreaking and so unfair.
