Proud Parent
Hindsight is 20/20.
If her experience has taught her anything, it has made her learn at an early age that there are some nasty people out there who will use you and tear you down but for every one of those; there are more absolutely wonderful giving people. She's learning to trust her gut.
She still loves the sport and I have to give her a lot of credit.
I have learned that my daughter is a strong young woman and I am incredibly proud of what she has accomplished.
My regret (which I can't dwell on) is listening to her and not moving her out of a toxic gym when I wanted to. She cried and carried on that I would ruin her life if I made her go somewhere else. Finally I had enough and gave her an ultimatum-move or quit; she chose to move and it was the best thing for her.
Would I put her in this sport again knowing what I know? Most likely, just would have changed gyms sooner.
