cherryberry, I'm sorry that you feel bad, and I can understand why you do feel bad. I'm guessing that you posted because you want others to support your upset feelings about the action you took and how your daughter reacted to that action.
I truly don't think anyone who replied to you on this thread intended to be hurtful. Can you see that all of the replies have been posted out of concern for the consequences of you doing something illegal? It's not about you being "bad", it's about you probably coming up against some expensive, frustrating, and even serious legal trouble a little ways down the line. I'm guessing that your daughter actually is being mature about setting a boundary with an action that she knows isn't a wise one to take. Maybe you can try to be grateful for raising a daughter who has healthy boundaries and can take care of herself.

Since your income is low, have you applied for Medicaid? With Medicaid you could speak with a therapist. Another idea that I think could really help you sort some things out is for you to attend a NAMI group in your location. The groups are free. You can check online to see if there's a group where you live.

I think what Laurie said was very wise and well communicated.

You are feeling quite terribly alone right now. Is it possible to reach out to your daughter and apologise for the sake of your relationship with her? Perhaps it might result in a strengthening of your bond and aa new understanding between the two of you.

I wonder is there some sort of mental health association in your community? They might be able to assist you with putting you onto resources that could help you get on track with all these things that have come as a result of your move.

Finally, is this move what you really want? Are you in a better place as a result of it? Does being there bring enrichment to your life?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
