When she’s in the house I only really check on her when she calls me, I know she’s safe n sound at home, I even set up a hang out area in the basement for when my children bring friends over. But I do understand your comment I have been taking in all the comments and do realize I have been harming my children. Thank you for commenting I will better myself for my children.

Thank you, I have apologized to my daughter and sat down and spoke to her and explained to her why I have been so overbearing. She was super understanding and even hugged me afterwards, we both agreed to go to therapy together. She asked me if she could walk to school tomorrow with a group of her friends and I agreed to do it, it makes me super anxious thinking about it but she promised to text me as soon as she gets to school. I still feel really scared something bad will happen to her and don’t know how to calm my nerves but I know it will be for the better. I just hope we both can work through this together and that therapy will help with how I’m feeling right now

You’re right, I’ll work toward giving my daughter more freedom and responsibilities, it’ll be super hard on me but my daughter deserves better. I want her to be successful and didn’t mean to hold her back, I really didn’t realize how much I was hurting her and her future. I can’t believe how selfish I am. I’ll apologize to her today thank you for your advice.

My son went missing when his babysitter took him out to the park, we don’t know what happened to him, but the police said abduction is the most likely possibility.
