I feel so bad. Daughter and her friend were mistreated at the park today by these nasty kids, then ran into them again, with their big, burly gangster mom at the store tonight (husband said she was even buying beer!) and she got all confrontational with my husband. My daughter feels hurt and terrible. Admitted to her about the time I OD'd while I was manic and psychotic and alone with her and how terrible I felt about that (because she was asking us about things we've done in the past that have made us feel awful), and she said she remembered it (she was like four at the time) but had been really confused, and then gave me a hug and said, "Don't worry. You're a great mom."

I really had been manic and psychotic and sick at the time. I wasn't on an AP. I still feel bad about it though. 😞
