You sound like her mom...
This is the only place she can be free and honest so she can talk away all her hurt and pain and, not surprisingly, you still find a way to tear her emotionally all over again.. Great job! (Please not the sarcasm)
She threatened to hurt herself because she is so sick of you, you caused her to act the way she does... Its all because of you..
She lies about what she is doing because you ruined the communication part between you two..
Tell me how can a daughter talk to her mom when her mom:
-has issues and is controlling; and takes out her issues onto her kids
-hurts her emotionally (I hope not physically)
-doesnt listen to a work the daughter says
-has already made up her mind that her daughter is not a good person
-has made her daughter scared to communicate with her mom
-is a bad mom and the daughter despises the mom
-has given her daughter no reason to come up and start a conversation with the mother, because the daughter knows her mom will just blame her and not listen to a word the daughter will say...
- and many more reasons..
So she has been caught with a boy, don't you think there could have been a more civil way that you could have approached the matter to her than whatever way you did..
She doesn't tell you the truth because you don't let her... You already have it accustomed to react negatively towards her...
And she doesn't open up to you because she doesn't like you
I definitely have learned from this, my mom is as evil as you.. and because of that our relationship has turned to nothing. So yes, I have learned from it because I will not do your mistakes and my mothers mistakes when I grow up.. My greatest fear is to be like a mother who is exactly like you.. Im going to care for my kids and support them in a way that you will never know because you are too stubborn to admit that how you have behaved has ultimately damaged your daughter and the relationship between you and your daughter..
Ya I don't believe everything I hear... She might not be an "angel child" but she is not all to blame for that.. Kids are who they are mostly because of their parents.. Don't you know that you have the greatest influence on her life? It's a shame you wrecked it for her...
I really believe that unconditional love does not exist within some mothers...
You need to learn to blame yourself ones in a while...
It so easy to blame your daughter and accuse her for everything that's gone wrong, but you know she is the scapegoat in all of this...
You need to learn to trust her
