Dying to find this series I read in high school. “Daughters?”

I remember it being called “daughters” or “the daughters” but the only series I can find is one about children of famous people (not it). The books I remember had four sisters, they had a rich but absent dad. They are all different ages and each book focuses on one of them… there is a plot line that takes place at a British boarding school.

I remember one sister is described as blonde and very fit. She sleeps with her dad’s business partner Magnus. It was YA but there was some graphic sexual content (or maybe it just seemed graphic to me at 13/14)

Also vaguely remember a plot line of a sister working for a newspaper / magazine in London ?? Help !!

No contact is so hard

I (29F) went no contact with my mom 18 months ago. Her drinking has gotten progressively worse for the last 20 years. I’ve reached many “breaking points” with her over the years but last year was a true tipping point (I came to pick up my son and she was nearly unresponsive, he was 5 at the time) and I officially went no contact. She had been sober for a year, supposedly, hence my trusting her with her grandson. In reality she had just gotten reallyyyy good at hiding it.

It’s so hard. I miss her. Even though in my logical mind I know I miss who she was 15 years ago, and not who she is right now. We live a 1/4 mile apart and I sometimes see her waiting for the bus, or walking around the neighborhood, and I break down every time.

I had a miscarriage last month and I’ve just wanted my mom so badly. I’ve almost picked up the phone to break no contact every day, but I know it will only bring me anxiety and more grief. It’s just so fucking sad and bleak and I can’t help but feel jealousy towards other women who have loving and stable relationships with their mother. Feels ridiculous typing it out but I’m almost 30 and I just want my mom.
