Yeah, I have to. It's just how it happened that I object to. I told them in advance she couldn't go. No one contacted me. Then the night before they planned with her how she could go even though I said no. Thurs I said to her again no, that conversation happened at the same time she was texting with her teacher for how it could be a yes. And then i told the teacher how I felt and no one cared, where do I stand as a parent?
If a parent says no my child can't go, don't go ask the child about it to change the answer without involving the parent. When I said no to prom the response was ask Daya if she can go.
If someone has respectfully talked to me beforehand and involved me, because i had clearly said no, perhaps this would have been very different.
You are a good Mom. You just want what is best for your daughter.

But you are right, I have to just move on.
Parenting can be so difficult.
