[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im confused— the op takes what another poster shared as the story her daughter’s friend shared? The one about the waking and scolding and hitting with a slipper? Wut?

Anyway, I’m Indian American and my father had a terrible, terrible temper. Thre things at us, broke dishes, doors, walls— once put his head through the wall, and treated our mother horribly. She wasn’t innocent and played a role too. They have both died now, and I remember this with great sadness. In my case they loved us a lot and did everything for us. In our house it wasn’t about grades, but often disrespect.

Yes, I didn’t get that at all. Is this just a troll?

If this is real, it’s good OP is giving this kid a space to be. I would stop verbally contrasting your parenting with theirs. She sees the difference, and all you’re doing is making yourself feel better. I would also talk with your kids to make sure they’re doing ok. It seems like a lot for them to process.

Also, what does she want? Is she just venting or want support with getting out of this situation?

I don’t know if this is wrong to say, but it would make me uncomfortable to be in a situation where as a family with this girl, we are badmouthing her parents when we have no context for that. Not that she’s lying. But, to me it would seem more like when an incident happens, she shares that with you as people she confides in. You support her through that situation. Seems reasonable.

I’m not sure that raising past things regularly as similar things come up in conversation is the best, for her or your kids. Can she go to a therapist to process some of this? [/quote]
