I'm giving up custody of my 14yo daughter to her father

I(29f) am terminating my parental rights to my child(14f).

For 14 years, I've dealt with a narcissist and his family. Since my daughter was born, her father and his family have done everything in their power to make her hate me. They've been successful.

Her father used to tell her, after I would say "I love you", "tell Mommy f you." He also told her to physically harm me. He's threatened to drive his truck through my house, and have had people watch my house.

He's called CPS on me every year for 14 years. He's taken me to court numerous times. I've spent thousands on an attorney and have kept documentation of all of this for 14 years. I have defended myself and proven every accusation to be false.

I am drained. I can't fight anymore. I don't want to fight anymore. My daughter has continued to hate me, and has even told lies about me as well. Some lies could've put me in jail had they not been investigated properly. The accusations are continuing to get worse. I'm afraid that their accusations will eventually put me in jail.

My daughter once told her teacher that I had left her home alone to go on vacation. The teacher called me to verify that I was home, I was. I even told her that I could come up to the school to prove it, or they could send an officer to my house to verify.

I have been with my husband for 10 years and have 2 bonus kids. My husband and children have been subjected to countless CPS investigations as well as harassment from my daughter's family. It has gotten to the point that I've had to put cameras inside of my home to protect myself and my children from the accusations. We are all tired. We just want peace.

All I've ever wanted was to be the best mother that I could be for my daughter. I wanted to give her everything she needed from me and more. I've tried like hell the last 14 years to be the mother she needed and deserved, but I've been met with abuse at every angle.

I was young when I gave birth to her. I was 15 years old. I had no support whatsoever and have done everything myself. I have created a good life, a safe life. And they want to take that away from me. It seems that they will stop at nothing to ruin my life. To keep me under their control. Not anymore.

There's a lot more that they've put me through the last 14 years, but this post is long enough. So, for the safety of myself, my husband, and my other two children, and at the wishes of my daughter, I will be terminating my rights. It hurts. It's the hardest decision I've ever had to make, but I have no fight left in me. Why try to force a relationship that just isn't there?
