It's not a good story, with my daughter. She is MY daughter, afterall...so when she hit 16 she turned into a total asshole. I won't even repeat some of the things she said to her mommy, nor tell you how close she came to death - 'cause I was dealing with a million other things at the same time as a mouthy little turd of a daughter. Her dad and I were on good terms, so I called him and told him that it was his turn.
She's been back off and on, I still financially supported her (still do on many levels) - but if the 2 of us had've continued, one of us may have ended up mortally wounded.
We have an excellent bond now, and though that was a rough time...I still think it was the right thing to do.
Now, my boys...they have no daddy that I do well with, to send them to. Those 2 and I are going to make it through teen years together no matter what.
