Situation with DD

Well, I am very confused.  I've shared with you all about the disagreements that youngest DD (21 y/o) and i had over Thanksgiving.  She hadn't spoken with me except to say she didn't want to talk to me in two weeks.  She did call yesterday while I was at work and she knew I couldn't talk.  I did answer my cell phone when I saw it was here.  Usually, I ignore it at work.  She sounded so bubbly and happy.  I told her I would call her when I got off work.  I have apologized for my part in this and I know my DD doesn't see that she's done anything so she won't apologize.  I'm ok with that - I just want my DD back in my life.


Anyway, when I called her back, she was again bubbly and happy.  We talked for maybe 1 minute and then she invited me to a jewelry party (like a Tupperware party).  I said I would do my best to be off work that day.  She said great and then she said she had to go.  The whole conversation took a total of two minutes.  I truly think she only called just because she wants me to come to her jewelry party and spend money.


Why do I have to be suspicious?  Why can't I just be happy that the ice is broken and maybe things will get better soon?  I really want this thing resolved.


Thanks for listening.  DD and I both could use a few prayers.

Oh my heavens, DD is sending you mixed messages, isn't she?


And I am really short on time as have to get ready for work as have time clock in less than 60 minutes.


Have a chuckle, I actually looked up several interpretations of Matt 5:39b this morning about turning your other cheek as my therapist thought I hadn't done that with my own 2 sisters over the year.


It isn't fair how your DD treated you, but maybe just show up for the party, IF you want to buy something, do; if you don't, then don't.

This is only my observation, but take it for what it's worth.

I'm just confused - is she speaking to me or not?
