[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as parents we all make mistakes. We are trying to do the right thing in the moment, but our young adult children call us on it later. That's when we need to honor their feelings. Tell her sincerely how you are sorry. You were doing what felt right at the time, but you failed in some ways. Own it. Pride is a failing, OP. it's one of the seven deadly sins. In fact, I think it's number one on the list. Your adult child wants to know that you can admit to faults, that you can see how she struggled. Right now, you aren't willing to admit it. You just run away.[/quote] What exactly did OP do wrong? All kids were affected by Covid and most have turned out OK. It sounds like the DD has the social problems and can't own up to it. Telling the mom to take the blame doesn't help the DD's social problems but only serves to give DD an external excuse for why she is possibly the problem because it's obvious she can't make friends.[/quote]
