Dear Abby: I’m blocked by my daughter who calls me names and refuses contact because of my political beliefs

Dear Abby: After the last presidential election, my daughter, “Cindy,” whom I love with all my heart, turned against me. Cindy started rebelling when she was a teenager. Our relationship was rocky for some time, but I never stopped loving her. Once she matured, our relationship became much better, so I was shocked when she turned on me in such a vicious way. She began making up stories about how I had abused her as a child — absolute lies. She also began sending me nasty text messages, calling me names because of my political beliefs and telling me she no longer wants a relationship with me. I don’t care what her political beliefs are. I would never be so cruel to her. It has been a year and a half since we have had any contact. I have tried writing her letters, which I assume she is throwing in the garbage without reading. I can’t call her because she blocked my number, and she has also blocked me on all social media. I need advice about how to move forward.
