ALL IN ALL!
The author’s daughter Casey, who has ADHD, has been avoiding them and their family for a year due to a car accident. The insurance payout was insufficient to cover the replacement, and Alana’s medical bills were not enough to cover the cost. Casey has been avoiding them and pretending to be unrelated. The author begged her to attend a family therapy session, but she agreed not to speak to them until the car was replaced. The author is concerned that making Alana work to earn money could harm her grades and future. The author’s wife agrees to stand firm but is also afraid of Casey never speaking to her again. The author believes that emotional blackmail can work, but they must prioritize their children’s well-being.
