[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised she would be that forthcoming to an entire family at the dinner table. Especially to people she hasn’t known that long. Was it to stun and evoke sympathy?

Idk I think you need to take a step back and think about this a little more critically. [/quote]

I think she let her guard down because she has been at our house a lot in the last year. My husband jokes we got a third kid when our daughter met her. Even our crazy anxious dogs really like her.

We try to be sensitive to the cultural differences and she’s taught us how to make some of her culture’s foods etc. It has been fun learning about holidays from her country and stories about her grandparents. She doesn’t talk about her parents. I admit I had been a little concerned about some high pressure academic comments, but different families have different values about that.

The waking up to scold and hitting with a shoe were other situations my daughter told me her friend had shared. Those sounded really outlandish to me, but I guess I am sheltered.

I need to see what I can find out about her college list. All I’ve heard is that her parents will only pay if it is a good enough school. I just pray now that she can get out and get help in college.

DD is nowhere near her academic league so their application processes have been quite different.[/quote]
