Have I Lost My Daughter?

I rarely get to spend time with my daughter anymore!
My ex-husband and Nathalie, my daughter (21 yrs. old) are currently in Paris for 10 days.

She is living with my ex in Boston this summer as she has an internship at a hospital research center.


She never seems to have time to visit with me.
I live in Chelmsford, MA which is about 25 miles from where she is living.

My ex tells me to come to his condo to see her but I would like us to spend time together without him there. This has not happened.

Nathalie is very smart as is Charles, her father.
I have not graduated from college and I feel that this has become an issue.

When I have tried to set a date for us to meet it never seems to work.


Have I lost my daughter?
Do you think she will ever want to spend time with me?
