[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 633519, member: 18233"] Thank you all for the replies, I read each of them and felt so touched and supported that I got so many and supportive replies. You don't know how much this has helped me. There are not a lot of things that I am confidant about, but there is one thing that I am confidant on and that is I did everything humanly possible and beyond to get that girl through high school and graduated. You all really have no idea the lengths I went to. But difficult child doesn't see that at all. Not even in the least and it hurts me and infuriates me that she would even have the nerve to say I am lazy and gave up on her regarding this issue. She is not just saying this stuff to hurt me, she actually BELIEVES it with every fiber of her being and it causes GREAT ANGER in her and eventually lashes me out on me in the worst way because she feels like I am soul reason she failed out of high school. She is so convinced of this and even though *I* know what I have done (and I am very steadfast in my conviction even more than she is in her false conviction), I feel empty because she doesn't know it. I want HER to KNOW it. I really hope when she gets older and has her own kids, that she actually see's all that I did for her and that she was wrong on A LOT of things, not everything, but a lot of things. I can move on from this eventually, but I will never really be at peace with this issue until she fully realizes how wrong she was about this high school thing and actually apologizes to me for it (she needs to get on hands and knees and beg and grovel for forgiveness to even put a dent into some of the things she has done to me) and that may be two decades from now. That is too, too long. I can't lie, I need validation from her desperately. [/QUOTE]
