Thank you for such an open and honest post. What you did was huge in terms of reaching out to your daughter. I was taken a back actually reading your story, and in a good way
As a mom I always told myself that I have one shot at this and I may not get it right, may make HUGE mistakes but I am always trying to learn to be a better parent even if it takes me a lifetime to get it right.
Your actions are already speaking louder than your words. It can only get better right?
