[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep insisting that her daughter sought medical care? It’s highly unlikely that the daughter did that on her own. Much more likely her friends took her to the hospital (good for them!).

OP, I think you need the health care power of attorney going forward.[/quote]

OP here.

Yes, this is evidently what happened.

Bottom line is she appears to have been hospitalized for alcohol use and then invented a lie about being a victim of a crime when asked about the TikTok by one parent then the hospital bill by me. Told the parents different stories too, thinking we wouldn’t compare notes (we did, and we both agree it’s unlikely she was actually roofied).

In my book, being hospitalized for alcohol abuse and then lying about it is a pretty big red flag that needs to be addressed. Especially if she wants even more freedoms next year, including a car I pay for and insure. As far as I am concerned, it is legitimate to be worried about a combination of a history of poor judgment with alcohol and access to a car when the party scene will be five or six miles from her off campus rental.

It’s weird some of you see that as “punishment.”

Evidently some of you are shitty parents who think I should just ignore and carry on. [/quote]

Do you think she wants to lie to you, or do you think she wants to have an open and honest relationship with you, but is afraid of you?[/quote]

[b]I think she has been a reflexive, habitual liar for many years. A friend taught her how to try to deceive her parents.[/b] I do think she is lying because she is afraid of consequences, not so much because she is “afraid” of me. [/quote]

It is all their fault, and you get a prize for being the parent? [/quote]
