[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 701703, member: 16024"] Mcdonna, I think you are realizing that your daughter has the ability to get what she wants from people, and you don't need to jump in and save her and march to her tune. Yes, she is probably using and abusing these kindhearted people, but at least you know that she is OK. Everyone thinks that they are a good judge of character, but the fact is, very few of us know anyone that would fake an illness. It is not something most people would even consider (unless you have been burned continually by someone who does it) so these people jump to the conclusions that she wants them to make--namely, that you are the bad guys who don't care. It also serves to shame you and force you to beg, grovel, and send money (that you probably either don't have or can't afford to spend)! Do you have a therapist or some sort of support group? This has got to be very isolating. [/QUOTE]
