Rolling in the deep...

[wishing, hoping]

I am not going to sit there and "cater" to H. I intervened because and only because he asked me to. I thought the situation was far more serious than it was. The man does not know how to parent. He is incapable of being empathetic to anyone. I am not trying to "fix" anything. My entire purpose with D was to calm her down and get her to listen to reason. Period.

I am furious at this point. With the system, with H and with this entire process. H asked for my help because he didn't know what else to do. He took what could have been an easily rectifiable situation and escalated it. That's what he does. That's not my fault.

I will not apologize for what I did in that situation. It's not about me or H. It's about D. I care about her and her emotional and mental well being. H does not and no amount of "reasoning" is going to convince me that he does.
