Marta shared the painful experience of dealing with her 12-year-old daughter, Rose, who has become increasingly cruel and disrespectful. Rose mocks Marta’s appearance, weight, and aging, even going so far as to cut off her ponytail during a video conference. Despite therapy and the support of trusted adults, the behavior persists, severely damaging Marta’s confidence.
When Marta suggested sending Rose to boarding school to help break the cycle, her husband harshly dismissed the idea, telling her she was overreacting and should be more understanding. His response left Marta feeling betrayed and unsupported. Now, she not only faces her daughter’s cruelty but also the lack of empathy from her husband, leading her to question both her parenting and their relationship.
