Dear PrevT,

"I feel so horribly alone.
In trying to help T understand how I feel/how I felt, I learned that no one can know how I feel no matter how I try to explain it. It didn't happen to them. It happened to me.

I have screwed up my life making bad choices, not having a backbone, not stepping up to be a leader for my daughter. DD is right, it's all my fault.

I should never have moved to (state) I wouldn't have met AbusiveDoc1 or AbusiveDoc2. I could have been emotionally present for my daughter. I could have helped myself. I could have helped her."

PrevT responded:

"I understand…AND, for what it is worth, you have had times when you made a number of excellent decisions, had backbone, and been a leader for your daughter..."
