A young mother reflects on her difficult past, marked by domestic abuse, and the impact it had on her relationship with her now-adult children. She expresses deep regret and a longing to reconnect, feeling distanced from them. A response suggests that no parent is perfect, and encourages her to reach out to her children with an apology, potentially exploring family counseling for healing. Meanwhile, another woman shares her struggles in forming relationships with her partner’s daughter, whom she feels is disrespectful and exploitative, complicating her new life after loss.
