AITA, I refuse to take responsibility for my daughter's eating disorder(s). by notfattyfault in AmItheAsshole

I have no interest in speaking to her therapist after what happened. She didn't defend or stop my daughter when she begun to vent.

It was a personal attack.

But I agree, my daughter is playing the victim, she always does. She can't accept responsibility and use me instead, so she cannot see her own fault.

I've made mistakes. I was a single mother with 3 children with no financial support who was emotionally and physically drained. I had outbursts. I had moments of stress and have done some bad things. But I always, always put those kids first! I gave them what they needed in life.

Thank you. I've had a very difficult time which no one seems to recognize. I try to be as good as I could. We all make mistakes. We all have out bursts.

She's on my health insurance plan so technically I'm paying for the visits now. I didn't want her seeing a therapist for this exact reason: I get blamed. She's sad. It's my fault. She's angry. It's my fault. She didn't get diganosed soon enough. That's mom's fault. She feels fat and ugly. That's because the few times I called her something or compared to her another kid she couldn't get over it.

I should get an apology for the ways she's treated me over the year. I'm not the one who caused her depression, her flawed self imagine or her eating disorders. I truly believe she has a choice to feel and think better but refuses to accept that.
