So happy for your D17. Graduation, so exciting. I just got caught up on your sitch. Your W making it about her,, (( shaking my head in disbelief)).I am so glad you D17 saw through it and didn't let it ruin her day. And you SH standing tall.

I like the positive feedback you are getting here. SuperHeroes do need support and you are surely getting great advise. SH as a name change is good. more positive.

Funny you say this. My daughters asked for the same. there was nothing positive about it. The discussion only brought up past things their mother did to them and it would upset the day.


Keep doing what you are doing SH. Don't be afraid of slipping or criticizing yourself, it happens. You always seem to get back up on your feet and continue to move forward. That is the goal. That is what you need to focus on.
