Anonymous Confession

You know those stereotypical villains you see on TV? The rich, sophisticated, whisky-loving, fashion-conscious, condescending, working mother? I thought those only existed on TV and the movies. Never thought I'd encounter an actual villain with this exact description in real life. Let's just name her "mommy dearest" or MD for short.

MD happens to be the mother of my daughter's ex. I never met her, and neither has she met my daughter. Yet she had the gall to tell her son that our family was a "bad family" and that my daughter shouldn't be with her son anymore, even as a friend. This was a month ago.

My daughter was devastated, and so was her son. So much so that both of them had to skip school the day after the breakup. Before the forcing of the breakup, my daughter and her ex actually had a nice relationship. I could tell that they both loved each other so much. This was actually the healthiest relationship my daughter has been in. Only to be taken away by the boy's mom. Oh, and did I mention that they're part of a prominent clan? Makes you wanna eat the rich!

It pains me to see my daughter cry a lot and be in a lot of pain. She even attempted to end her life when the breakup happened. Just when she thought she was happy, in comes the boy's mom, who just sweeps the joy away.

There's only so much I can do as her mom. Aside from prayers and being there for her, we decided to put her on therapy. I just hope she forgets this ever happened, like what they did on "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Because it surely is traumatic for a 15-year-old girl to be unfairly judged by a pathetic middle-aged lass who hasn't even met her.

Thanks, mommy dearest. Because of your actions, my daughter's self-esteem is at an all-time low. And because of your prejudice and unreasonable hatred towards her and our family, she has lost all faith in humanity at a tender young age of 15.

My daughter has lost her spark and her smile. She finds it hard to get up in the morning, because she doesn't have "a reason anymore." As much as I try to make her happy, all I can do is comfort her and give her the tightest hugs. I wish someone can make her laugh again soon.

If you're reading this and believe in God or a higher power, please pray for my daughter. Thanks for reading
