She opened up only when they questioned her about the fact that she stuck around for them.

"I saw my dad hit her from time to time and felt it was normal. I feel like I've let her down, I don't even know how I felt after the meeting that she called," she said.

During the meeting, the mother explained that she sacrificed everything but was finally leaving because everyone was grown up.

What happens to the woman's father?

The daughter disclosed that she was at a loss for words, given that she was her first child, but didn't know their mum was sad and uncomfortable.

"I feel like I've failed her. What should I do? And how can I make it up to her?" she questioned.

She added that their father kept begging her to stay and even refused to eat.

What makes her distressed is that the dad is sick, and their mum was his major caregiver.

"She hired a caregiver for him already, but what should I do to my hurting mum and desperate dad?" the woman continued.

See the story below:

As much as the separation is painful for the family, the daughter admits she has to accept her mother's decision.

"After everything she said at the meeting, I'll be stupid to try to convince her to stay, especially since she put her life on hold for us," she posited.

Given that the mother feels like her job is done and she's finally free, it is prudent to let her focus on herself now.
