Love Yourself More Than Your DaughterChapter 1 Rebirth
I worked three jobs every day, pouring my heart and soul into my daughter's ballet training so she could become the youngest principal dancer.
When she won international awards and basked in the glory, she turned to the camera and accused me of having a toxic grip on her life.
"My mom is a monster. Ever since I was little, she wouldn't let me eat enough, and she would either hit me or scold me.
"She controlled who I could be friends with and ruined my relationships. I'm deeply traumatized, and there were so many times I wanted to end it all.
"Now, I can finally break free from her."
It was then I realized that the daughter I cherished so much actually hated me to the core.
The internet tore me apart, and I lost my job and health. In the end, I was pushed into oncoming traffic by my daughter's fans.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment when my daughter cried and said she didn't want to dance anymore.
I smiled softly. "Okay."
I watched as my daughter quit the dance team, started dating that blonde kid, and pursued the freedom she craved.
But, she regretted it.
