[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, agreed. I’m sorry you’re in this position. If it makes you feel any better, there are adult kids in my family with a severely mentally ill mother and so I have largely stepped in. But I never say a bad word against their mother; I simply support them to the best of my ability.  [/quote]

My stepdaughter has a shockingly horrible and disinterested biological mother. So much so that I was able to become her guardian when my husband died. It's been my absolute honor to parent this young woman to adulthood and beyond. She and my younger kids have a wonderful bond.  There have been many instances I've held my tongue till it's practically bled, like the promise to attend her high school graduation and then didn't  show up. I think acknowledging the misdeed is fine and saying you're sorry they're hurting is acceptable. But going on a full on rant even if justified is not the way to go.[/quote]

Or, maybe you and your husband ran her off and alienated this child from her.[/quote]
