Re: I want to apologize
Don't apologize for the original post. You can always post asking for advice on this forum but you need to be prepared to get some pretty direct answers from regulars and other nesties alike. In the end everyone who responded to any of the threads below had your best interest at heart, people just came at it from different directions.
Apology unnecessary. I wish you all the best and hope that you will take our advice to heart and seek the advice of a professional for yourself.
While I don't agree with the tone that a lot of our guest commenters used to respond to you, I think it is important to note that every commenter was on more or less the same page: you are not overreacting in thinking that something is wrong - something is wrong, and both you and your daughter deserve better treatment. None of us can 100% know your situation based on a few internet posts, but we all saw some red flags in what you shared and are concerned about you.
Again, I wish you all the best, and we are all here for you.

I agree with PP's that you don't need to apologize at all. You did nothing wrong in asking for some advice. Sometimes it is easier to ask people about something painful in a forum such as this and not in person. As for the drama....well...that is why I tend to stick to this board as we usually are not inclined to be as "pointed" in our responses. I think it is possible to offer advice or comments without attacking someone. And I really appreciate the ladies on this board for their responses and HOW they respond.
Please don't let some snarky responses keep you from talking with us when you need to vent or ask advice. Even with the snark...it seems the bottom line is that everyone just wants you to have a happy life and get some help with this difficult situation you have at home.
Sandy and I send our best wishes that you will find your way and get some help and that many smiles will be in your future. Take care of yourself and your daughter.
