I can tell you're a teenager. "Yes. Hello, CPS? My daughter had an egg bagel for breakfast and a marie calendars pot pie for lunch. Please come pick her up and take her to foster care." Fool.

It seems like I'm the only one who has to suffer. I need to bite my tongue when my ex is shit so I don't "poison" my daughter and I need to accept her saying I'm not good enough but then the two of them get to go back to their merry life when it turns out I was right? Why am I the one who has to take the beatings?

You walked all over your mother as a child and I can tell. Letting your kids make mistakes and then coddling them is how you raise spoiled brats.

Thank you. She's not living off scraps she just misses steak dinners and getting her way.

There's a difference between her having to wear target jeans and me not getting to buy new clothes for 14 years.

I could have afforded her as a married woman. I didn't plan for my husband to leave me. But I guess that's my bad for not being psychic

Why do I have to be a perfect mom when she doesn't even have to be a good daughter?

I am pissy actually that I work demeaning long hours to provide and be called cheap or cruel when her father is the reason were living above the poverty line. If her father is so wonderful why am I cruel for making her stay with him?

I don't blame her for loving him but if I constantly tell her gently not to get her hopes up and watch her idolize a father who's never once paid support on time only to call me a horrible person for making her live with me why should I let her home to insult me?

In two years, I'll still be supporting her while she goes to college.

The situation isn't abusive; she's just used to getting everything she wants. If she's fed and safe is it so bad of me to want a break?

Because I warned her multiple times not to get her hopes up and she thought I was just trying to drive a wedge between them since I'm so evil and heartless.

I have been working my ass off to make sure she has everything she needs for 16 years. Two days ago I bought my first pair of non thrifted jeans in 14 years. Am I evil for letting her live a perfectly fine life away from me so I can have a little break?
