I appreciate the hyperbole, but in reality she'll probably just lose business after that embarrassing display. I'd never hire a lawyer who's cried in court like a child.
This life change is a great opportunity for her to get it together and accomplish something external. But she'd rather be a victim and be furious with her own daughter for her own shortcomings.
I agree. This all seems like a few smart people dealing with the issues of life. Nothing about this situation is perfect but the kiddo has two loving parents and financial stability it sounds like, so things could be a lot worse.
If they hate people seeing them this much I say go for it. Everyone is allowed to feel comfortable in their own skin and if being hidden away is what they want then they should do it, not punish men.
