[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261398, member: 1233"] WOW! Given the history and what came out, I guess her explosion was a good thing. It got the 2 of you talking and she was able to express how she felt and what was going on. I think we all go through times when we are not at our best. It can come for a variety of reasons and losing your husband is a pretty understandable one. Recognizing now that there are still issues left to handle from that time is awesome! Lots of parents demand that the kids just "get over it" because they don't understand or don't want to/can't afford therapy. I am glad she is in therapy. Having the abusive sibling is really hard, esp when they don't tell us. Abusive sibs can be very manipulative to keep it hidden. You probably should work some on understanding that you were doing the best you could back then. Things were not the best. But you NEVER woke up and thought "How can I mess my kid up the most today?". You just were doing the best you could. I am glad you talked, and I hope she feels better for being able to talk to you.
