I was watching a show on Mel about adults who felt or were abandoned by their mother. Well my mother often says I abandoned my daughter. My daughter vehimately says i did not abandon her. To my relief. She is not angry with me or harbor ill feelings towards me.

That is such a relief. My mom is wrong. My therapists tell me I'm a good mother I did what was best for her. But my mom says otherwise. Anyway it was a revelation today. It's good to talk to people.

Your mom sounds aggravating. Ton of parents don’t live with their kids full time and maintain relationship by seeing their kids and talking to them, it’s not an abandonment at all. You are doing what’s right for all parties involved. Ignore your mother

I’ll answer for Aviza. She maybe doesn’t check on this thread. @sarahsweets Her daughter lives with her father but has good relationship with Aviza, visits and does overnights etc Her mother is just being a pain

Sorry to hear about your Son, but i am happy to hear about how your daughter feels. Give up the good work, i am sure your daughter is proud of you. This is why she says these things.

I agree with the therapist. If your daughter is happy, then there is nothing to be ashamed of.
