The woman shared a final update in October 2022, where she reflected on her handling of the situation, acknowledging that she had acted immaturely by asking her daughter if she regretted uninviting her.
She clarified that although she was referred to as her daughter’s “best friend,” she maintained a parenting role, including discipline.
Following the graduation incident, the woman attempted to contact her daughter’s father (referred to as F) and received a letter in response.
F claimed that their daughter had been aggressive and threatening toward him and his family, leading him to distance himself.
He accused B of stalking and threatening his family and insisted he had tried to have a healthy relationship with her.
The woman spoke to B about these accusations, leading to a confrontation where B blamed her mother for the breakdown in her relationship with her father.
B left for college, cutting off contact and refusing to communicate.
The woman expressed relief despite the pain, as her self-esteem had suffered during the ordeal.
She started therapy, experienced a slight improvement, and even went on a date for the first time in a decade without feeling guilty.
She acknowledged the imperfections in her relationship with B and recognized the challenging circumstances they both faced.
