New to This - An English Man In Trouble

[Hadlee58]

I spoke to my parents last night about the situation with my daughter and it didn't go well at all, they couldn't believe i would even think about bringing this up and asked me to leave, heartbreaking to see my mother in such a state. As usual my father took control of the conversation and twisted everything i said - i was trying to make it light hearted (i dont believe for one minute that my mother pushed my D and firmly believe there was a different context) but wanted to bring it up to get their side of the story, i felt i had too. My father said some fairly horrible things about me but i am guessing he was just fighting his corner, i am too tired to argue.
I returned home where my wife said that if they denied it she would have to speak to social services about this, my distress about my mother was further signs to her that i was on her side and not my W or D's, again i am too tired to argue.
She slept on in my Ds room last night and said she is taking them away for the weekend and doubted she would be back so i guess that is finally it.
Feeling pretty isolated on all fronts today, did i do the right thing? I am pretty sure i did, maybe i could have handled it better - it was a lose lose situation i think. If it hadnt been this i am sure it would have been something only around the corner that would have finished it. Just saddened that with all the effort i never quite got to the stage where my wife got on side.
Happy 2014 all xxx
