Exactly - so I can't 'comprehend' how after realising what a big mistake she had made - and ultimately being 'rejected' by her parents - to have the 'guts' 'sense' to go home again looking for forgiveness/help etc - that her mother accepts her appology and realises that her daughter does need help - but only for her dad to 'reject' her all over again


I would hope that if my daughter made a major mistake in life that she would feel comfortable enough to 'come home' to sort it out - and that as her parents that we would accept and help her 'move on'.
I don't know what to think anymore - first of all I thought she was just a trouble making so and so - but now I can see a girl crying out for help actually and wishing she'd never put herself in the situation she has - and just wants understanding perhaps??
I still don't believe she should have released photos of the 'innocent' parties though.
But I hope more than anything for this girl in life - is to sort out things with her family.
