I was shocked. She calls me an alcoholic and says I was never there for her growing up and just dumped her at her nan’s.
But it’s not true. I like a glass of wine every now and again but that’s it.
And she only stayed at my mum’s if I had to work late shifts, which I did to provide for her.
But some people believe her lies and there are tons of abusive comments posted about me.

My family knows it’s all rubbish but I worry my friends might believe her.
I feel hurt and betrayed. Now she won’t even return my calls.

DEIDRE SAYS: It must be a terrible kick in the teeth for you.
Even if your daughter has issues with your parenting, she should have talked to you in private rather than airing it in public.
You both must find a way to talk about this. Otherwise, it could lead to a complete breakdown in your relationship.
MORE FROM DEAR DEIDRE
Since she is not returning your calls, perhaps she would be willing to speak to her grandma to start with.
She could explain to your daughter how upset and confused the video has made you feel.
