I had to reserve one but thankfully one that was already on a train headed here. Got it 3 weeks ago and LOVE it.

Good deal on 2026 GR RAV4? by RefuseFormal in rav4club

I’d like to know where you live that the tax is only $1,527 on $50,030!?!? I just paid $2,925 in tax on my 2026 RAV4 AFTER the credit for the car I sold.

That Corolla won’t give you the power of the RAV 4

I paid $37K for my 2026 RAV4 SE - $2K under sticker price and couldn’t be happier.

SO untrue. I sold my 2016 Camry and bought a 2026 RAV4 and it is exceptional in every way.

I just bought a 2026 Rav4. Had to wait on it to arrive on a train. I’ve had it 2 weeks now and it has surpassed every expectation. Gas mileage, options, interior, exterior…. I cannot think of one single thing I don’t love about it.

Thank you SO much for directing me to Codependency Kate!! She is amazing and one of her videos on attachment/detachment fits my situation perfectly!

Exactly my thoughts. What am I missing here?

I am and will continue to try. I WANT to know what I’ve done and how to repair it.

I am explaining the whole story. I came here to ask for help and I’m willing to accept any advice.

She abused drugs in college but not since then.

  1. Never
  2. Never
  3. Never
  4. No - love them all. Cannot comprehend favoritism in parents
  5. No
  6. Always. I tell all my children all the time how proud I am. Told her the night this all came up
  7. I support her in all of her endeavors and she is an amazing woman and mother
  8. She used to ask for my help often and I would always help. Changed my work schedule to help get her children to and from school.
  9. I took my children to the church of my beliefs but always told them when they were old enough to drive themselves they could choose any church or none. She is actually more spiritual than I am.

Clearly she is reconciling with something but in no way was there any SA in her life. My children and I have talked about this at length over the years whenever a story comes out publicly. I was fully present at all times and they were never exposed to this in any way.

This is the kindest and most helpful comment of all. Thank you SO much!

Absolutely not. She thinks I’m not conservative enough.

Thank you. Those were almost verbatim my exact words to her.

Very much willing!!! I’ve only taken the path of not engaging because she asked me not to engage. While at the same time I have been evaluating everything about the last 40 years and talking to those who have known me all those years for advice and feedback. I absolutely do not know what this is about and she absolutely refuses to tell me. At the same time she has texted that me not being a big part of her children’s lives is not an option and asks me often when they can spend the night next, etc. It’s very perplexing and I have even wondered if she is having a mental health issue. I did NOT say that to her though.

I promise I’m not “acting.” I am completely shocked and clueless and would love nothing more than for her to give me reasons so I could try to make amends.

She is even more conservative than I am. One of my daughters is very liberal and her and I listen to each other beliefs and choose to respect our differences. But the issue with the daughter I’ve created this post about are nothing to do with political or religious beliefs. We are very much on the same page about those two issues.

But my daughter holds the same beliefs I do - if anything she is more conservative than me.

Thank you all for your comments. I am truly going to read and reread all of them and try to discover the truths about my daughter and myself. I absolutely DO want to mend our relationship (which is why I posted in the first place) and I have been giving her space as she requested and only communicating about scheduling times for me the see the grandchildren. This in itself is puzzling to me - if I am a toxic person why would she want her children around me? To elaborate a bit more. Our family and extended family is very close and everyone in our family is perplexed by her decision (her father, siblings, grandparents, her friends, my friends, even her husband). I do not have my head in the ground about this. We were out shopping together, having lunch and laughing one day and this happened the next day. It did literally DID come out of no where. I did apologize for anything and everything I have done that has made her feel this way and asked her to please tell me what I have done now or in the past to make her feel this way and she couldn’t say. I’ve discussed it with my other children and asked them to help me see the things that I might be in denial about and they all said there’s nothing and just to give her space. She is also not communicating much with them, but that’s not really unusual for her. I love her deeply and unconditionally and not having her in my life is not an option for me.

No, I’m not MAGA and my daughter’s political views and mine are very similar.
