So painful to read letters like this, and I do hope it is fake.
A quick aside to Gailed: You honestly don't see how this child's severe, severe, inexcusable neglect has caused her problems? You seriously want to make this about Asperger's!?
I have no earthly idea how anyone could let a traumatized kid languish "a few floors below" without support, encouragement or nurturing of any kind. It's inexcusable for the LW to have ignored the daughter, and I don't care that she was "only" 25 when she came on the scene. (Is the bar so low now that we're going to congratulate her for her honesty?? We're going to congratulate her for admitting incomprehensible selfishness and cruelty??) It's inexcusable for the LW. For the father, however, it is... I mean, I seriously can't find the words. It's a measure of coldness that makes me scared, honestly.
