The Monster Mother's Masterpiece

I filed three separate petitions to sever ties and terminate my parental rights over my high-school-aged daughter.

The first time, the judge denied it: "Your daughter is still a minor. Motion denied."

The second time, the judge warned me: "Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, you have a legal obligation to support her until she turns eighteen."

The third time, before the judge could even speak, I shoved a stack of evidence toward the bench.

"Your Honor, look through what I submitted. Once you do, you'll understand why I have to cut her out of my life."
