The Bad Mother

there once was a bad mother she forced her daughter to do all kinds of things that she did not want to do she thought she knew how to help but she only made it worse what she didn't know is that the daughter knew all along what she wanted but she was young and helpless her mother told all the doctors and all the therapists that her daughter had a problem and that she was suffering but she didn't know why the problem was that the mother was too intrusive in her life and she thought that she could change the way her daughter thinks we all know this is not true her problem was that she simply did not understand so one day the daughter found help in another town she sent them a letter saying she wishes to leave and they sent her back a train ticket to come live with them the daughter was happy and lived happily ever after THE END
