My niece is beyond angry at me. I told her I don't know why I did that. Come to find out the medication can cause confusion.
You have already done what you can. Your niece is now going to have to work through her anger and disappointment.
Sex offenders are not allowed where we live because there are children here. I am very upset, and I told her to never call me again.
