[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly are the "parenting shortcomings" you have conceded to?[/quote]
Still no answer to this. Hm. [/quote]

Sorry. OP here. I apologized for not getting her art lessons.  We did piano instead.  BC that's what she wanted at the time. I apologized for us not having a lot more money so we could pay for art school. I apologized for not being artistic myself BC she said I don't understand her artistic soul.  I've apologized for her not having a good grandmother. I've apologized for not encouraging her to apply to julliard.  She said years later that she had wanted to be a concert pianist. But she didn't practice that much. She had mentioned julliard once and I gave her a lightly skeptical look.  I've also apologized for choosing to have child/her. I've apologized for not being a trust fund family.  I've apologized for not handling her teenage tantrums better. As a teen she would get so angry and complain rant.  I never liked to engage with her so I'd tell her I couldnt talk with her until she calmed down.  She is angry about that BC she said talking would have calmed her.  There is a lot more but that's the general gist. I've also apologized for not being the mother she wanted.

Most of that's irrelevant stuff. Apologies were not warranted and I doubt they could have been very sincere. What really went on in your house that you produced a daughter who is obviously flailing sand throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks? You seem to be seeking validation there with a modified limited hangout.[/quote]
