Reaching out: Though they are not speaking, Tamra Judge still took to Twitter on Tuesday to wish estraned daughter Sidney a happy 17th birthday

She continued, of handling the difficult situation: 'God you got this ......right? I'm putting it in your hands.'

Just before the emotional tweet, Tamra had shared her love for her daughter, writing: 'Happy birthday @sidney_barney . I love you so very much. [heart emojis] I hope your day if filled with love and joy. #17'

She shared the sweet message along with a black and white photo of her posing beside her daughter Sidney.

The bravolebrity shared the same photograph on Instagram, adding: 'May God bless you today and always..'

Separated: On the October reunion show for The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra admitted that Sidney had not been speaking to her since the bitter custody battle between her and ex Simon Barney

Tamra first revealed the tense relationship between her and daughter Sidney on the October reunion show for her Bravo reality series RHOC.

After struggling to control her voice as she brought up 'something I’ve never talked about,’ Tamra described how her custody battle with her ex Simon destroyed her relationship with Sidney.

The fallout came in the wake of Tamra's split and nasty 2011 divorce from Sidney's father Simon, who last year battled Tamra for custody of their three children (Sidney, 17, Spencer, 15, and Sophia, 10).

Simon has full custody of Sidney, while the former couple share joint custody of Spencer and Sophia.

She recalled how Sidney confronted her one day and said: 'I don’t want to live with you anymore.’

'She basically left home that day and two years later has not come back,’ Tamra sobbed, insisting she had 'no idea where it was coming from.'

'I went to court to get her help - and he fought me not to get her help. And he won. The judge said, ''She’s 17, she can choose who she wants to live with'' - and that’s it.’

To make matters worse, her son Spencer lives with her and refuses to speak to his dad. 'So the whole family is just so separated,’ she sobbed on the special.

However, after the episode aired Sidney took to her Facebook to refute her mother's story, saying she was 'disappointed.'

She wrote: 'I try not to talk about personal family matters with my friends, but I was made aware that my mother was talking about me and discussing our personal family matters on the show again.'

'At this point I think it is necessary to tell the truth since she does not know how to tell the truth,' Sidney posted.

She then went on to blast her mother - who is now married to third husband Eddie Judge - for her 'embarrassing' behavior and concluded: 'Obviously, I am just another storyline that feeds her fame and her wallet.'

Explaining her side on the rift, Sidney wrote: 'For the past two years I’ve been asking her to stop treating me badly, to stop doing embarrassing [sic] and talking about me on the show, and to not use my siblings and I as storylines.'

'Clearly she hasn’t followed through with anything that would have made me go back to her house. After telling her this for two years in consoling [sic], she still hasn’t recognized that these problems are between her and I and continues to make this about my father and her.'
