Makes me want to get in their face and say, "What's wrong with you? How perfect are you, is your life, that you should expect your daughter to meet your needs, rather than providing for hers???" And so many of these @$$#0&%$ suggesting that because you aren't everything to them, you would never be anything to anyone just ires me to end. Right. Cause they represent anything and everything anyone in the world could ever need or want??? Oh, hon. How you managed to find your own strength within you when no one had ever pointed

I am sorry for how you've been treated. No parent should say the things your's did, in particular. You have been betrayed by so many people important to you. I am glad things are getting better.
