Is this abuse? - Page 3

[Tway]

OP, your question is simply "Is this abuse?". Which tells me you came here looking for guidance and insight because you weren't sure of the answer to that question.

You've got lots of great responses, and I think you've been able to see the situation in a different light. And FWIW, I don't know why some people have responded to you so harshly. What's so wrong about taking a child's welfare to heart? Especially when you took the time to ask for advice instead of running out to call CPS.

Thank you Tway. That is indeed what I asked. And I feel some of the responses are either saying I'm dumb for even thinking it might be, or that I posted simply to bash this woman.

ETA. And I think the fact that some people did agree that it was "borderline abuse" justifies my point of view. I'm not the only one that felt this was unnacceptable.

i think some points have been made quite clear... the OP simply was asking for advice, not to be snarky or over the top... just advice. this thread is getting a little out of control for my liking.

i am sorry, OP. i am glad you were able to sift through the responces to find what you were looking for. s
