Today, she is finally free.
I divorced this evil woman, her mother, a dozen years ago and did everything I could to instill objective normality in her thinking. Albeit from a distance and without the money or stability I would have preferred. Thankfully, she doesn't think like them. But has been manipulated through guilt and constant demeaning verbal abuse that trapped her in an insane world.
My little girl has always had an extraordinary ability to be objective, responsible, thoughtful, self assured and capable.
She put herself through college by working and student loans while being the sole care taker of her Grandmother that has dementia, is a diabetic, incontinent and is as nearly insane as her mother. All while her alcoholic drug addicted mother complained about, my little girl, not paying enough attention to her. She just got her Masters degree in "Terrorism and Public Policy". Her innate Conservative principles give me a sense of pride that is difficult to fully express.
I bought her a guitar when she was 18 and suggested she take a few lessons. She refused. She taught herself to play and the first song she learned was "Mother" by Pink Floyd. And she intentionally played and sang it for her mother. "Look mommy at what I learned".
Today she is finally free from the insanity.
Today, she can start to have her own life.
But, she still has a sense of guilt and needs support and prayers.
Her psychotic mother has already called my mother in an effort to reach me. Her psychotic mother will likely call the police and make claims that my daughter stole something in order find her and bring her back into her twisted world. My daughter doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs but can cuss like a sailor and is looking forward to buying her first handgun.
The irrationality of people, even family that surrounds us is extremely difficult to deal with especially when they attempt to guilt us into conforming to their world.
Say a prayer tonight for Liberty.
Damn,good for her.
The truth has, and will continue to make her free. You all have my prayers.
Prayers up for Liberty.
Was your ex wife at least crazy in bed?
Congratulations to you, for seeing the light to get out of a dysfunctional situation. I know a few who stay in not realizing the damage done to us kids. Congratulations to her for overcoming the obstacles
God bless you and yours Z.
That’s great...but she will likely need some help getting over the abuse...a conservative minister, maybe? Prayers for her success.
Was your ex wife at least crazy in bed?
Unfortunately no.
It’s was my next ex that filled that role.
and on the “Hot crazy metric?” she was a 10.
I hear your relief and concern. I just prayed for her and you. It has not been easy for either of you.
Thats great...but she will likely need some help getting over the abuse...a conservative minister, maybe? Prayers for her success
She has been voluntarily seeing a Christian pastor therapist for nearly a year in anticipation of today.
It’s really a crazy situation.
Thank you.
Sincerely.
Whew... I had a wild child that needed a tough hand... I clicked on your story to offer my support. But, it sounds like she chose the best course. I’ll be saying a few prayers for you, your daughter and hope her compass always points in the right direction!
Thanks.
It’s like “What’s eating Gilbert Grape” with a twist for money.
She’s 25 years old? My experience with my parents at 25 was phone calls, occasional requests for money (please!) and mostly realizing how tough life actually can be, and sort of lionizing my parents for making it through it. At 25, has she ever been on her own? That makes all the difference.
God bless, good luck, and congratulations. To you and your daughter.
Good...
Go, girl. And never look back.
For all intents and purposes, she’s been on her own since she was 12.
Washing the drunken puke from her mothers hair at 2am so she could get some sleep.
At 15, without a license, driving her mother home from the bar she was forced go to.
There is so much more.
“...Mother should I trust the government..?”
