My dad's master plan to create a super parent through years of torment and abuse is finally coming to fruition. I should send him a card and thank him for his incredible foresight lol

I posted this after my 9. Yr old and I spent a week with my mom.
My dad has passed, and brother wrote us off after dad died.
I think I lost my cool a few times because I am not used to being around her for longer than a few days... We live 400 miles from each other..

Each of ya'll had made me realize, I was wrong. let her be her own kind of grandma
To the only grandchild she will ever have in her life.


Thanks a million. Appreciate your posts.
