Yes, I should have been done with the conversation early on. The whole episode last week seemed to set me back emotionally a few weeks.
I am sure she will try to drag me into more of the same type of situations. She is a bad victim mentality sometimes. She is also really stubborn. D11 said yesterday that she was worried that her mom was going to end up like my MIL, divorced a couple times and living alone in a falling down house. Interesting that a 11 year old has more insight then a 37 year old.
I need to get to the point that I did with SD16. Let it go and have her live with the consequences of her actions. Leave enough space open to fix the relationship or if it never happens then not worry about it anymore. See what today brings.
