usually it is okay if the daughter feels that that group is not right for them, because she was able to make that determination.
i had a hard time understanding how mothers felt this way, until i had my own children.

I do get that, it's the use (and support) of heartbreak and betrayal that I have such a negative reaction to. Particularly when followed by the lashing out at people who did nothing "wrong" even
if they were the chapter members who chose not to extend the daughter a bid.
I get feeling for a daughter's pain, and even hurting a bit because they hurt, but I do not get the level to which this is dramatized by fully grown women.
