No dont call she can call you if she wants to talk. You said she doesnt want to talk so just respect that and dont.

Dont worry yourself needlessly over her. If she has planned anything for her birthday and wants you to know, she will call you or invite you. If not then there is no obligation.

If your daughter is born again, then you can acknowledge her birthday which is actually the day she accepted Jesus.

Many people arent birthday people when they get older either and dont want people to know its their birthday. Its no big deal. My brothers who are twins birthday I just sent them a txt, one acknolwledged and the other didnt even respond lol. They didnt invite me to do anything there was no party so it didnt matter.

When I had my brithday and invited people to celebrate half of them couldnt even make it. The ones that did made the effort to see me and these are the people I value, but I didnt invite every single person I knew and it didnt bother me that others didnt send me a greeting cos i didnt remind them. I dont expect everyone to remember.

If our willpower was the answer, Jesus did not need to leave Heaven and be Crucified on the Cross Calvary where the victory was won. No man/woman can fix the flesh with the flesh (Zech. 4:6). We make laws believing that our works can please God.

When people leave the Cross and turn to other things, which millions are now doing, the Scripture says of them: "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1).

Needless to say, such individuals, as with the lukewarm and as with those who have a form of godliness, are labeled by the Lord as unsaved, despite their claims, and will not go in the rapture nor enter the strait gate and narrow way that leads unto life.

Many are proclaiming Christ, but forsaking the Cross (lukewarm). This is also called "spiritual adultery (Rom. 7:1-4)."

If you leave the Cross, on your best day all you can do is try and patch up the situation. You can not fix it! Why? Because only the Cross deals with sins!

Husband and wives, return to the Cross by placing and maintaining your Faith exclusively in Christ and the Finished Work at Calvary's Cross, i.e., "The Blood of Jesus Christ," and watch the Holy Spirit show up and show out!!!!!!! Jesus Christ specialize in changing people and all problems around.

You have already gotten a lot of good advice so I will try to keep it short. The hardest thing about being a parent is letting them go. Sometimes it's just letting them get out on their own, but sometimes it's a painful break off. My daughter once cut me off, but in time she "returned" and now we are close. My advice is for you to spend time with God and searching yourself, is there something you should apologize for? Have you forgiven them? Just keep loving them and praying for them, don't push yourself on them and break their "rules". But don't be a doormat either, you can set your own rules, and it sounds like you need to the way this is all affecting your health issues. You have my thoughts and prayers!

"Acceptance. I have learned in our family that acceptance is the only recourse, believe it.
It does not keep me from loving our children that must find their own 'thing' and many times
it leaves us out, I have learned to accept this as part of life in the now. A materialistic life...
( been there done that ) is now in their hands, I accept this, and my love is always mine to know
my heart is in the proper perspective of life in the now."
I hope you come to know of this well...ACCEPTANCE."
'Praise God'
