Hi and pleased to meet you.welcome to the site.
We know the hell you talk about, we have all walked in your shoes....
Just now before the baby is born you have some peace.even if you are confused and dazed at the emotional batterring you have all just been through.
Theres nothing these sick people use more effectively against us than our own grandchildren...and there is very little we can do to stop them.
There is much information to be found within this site, this was about the one thing( and the people who use these boards.).that saved my sanity. You need to learn fast in order to protect yourself.
Your daughter is 18?...In UK that equates to an adult.here your daughter would legally no longer be your problem.
You can only change your own behaviour, nobody else's. I have found the only way for any peace is no contact at all with my daughter.......and that has to be the hardest thing in the world.to turn your back on your own flesh and blood.
Life here was good til my daughter hit 14.and like you, I thought it was extreme teenage behaviour..but it wasn't, and the bad behaviour just escalated.
There were plenty earlier signs that things were not right from quite an early age.but we didn't see things for what they were.....you just accept things as normal...its only poor parenting and bad famillies that have kids like these......right?.....well my daughter came from a very good family and never sufferred any abuse or hardships her whole life., there is no excuse for her being as she is apart from the fact she just is.
Hugs for you today.
