How do they walk away?

[Jack_Three_Beans]

I think that guilt plays a huge part in anyone's choices, regardless of MLC or not.

If they talk to you, and you wear your hurt and pain on your face or carry it in your voice, it is just a reminder.

Tree, I was rasied Catholic as well. I'm not telling you in any way shape or form how to raise your children, is telling you D that her father is listening to the devil (more or less)...is that wise? Will that bite you in the ass later? Reading that, it seemed like your daughter had to pick sides. God or the devil, mom or dad.

Yes what he is doing is wrong. And your daughter is one smart girl, she knows this, she doesn't have to have her hand held to be led to a decision. You did everything great, just the part about the devil entering her dad's head...that more or less made it so that there was only one choice she could responsibily make as a good Catholic.
