[quote=Anonymous][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]

Thanks for your input but that's not at all what happened. She is unbalanced with untreated mental illness. It was be great if she became healthy but that seems very unlikely. [/quote]
