Yea, free and independent. Just like a teen.

With frank paying the bills. With frank taking care of business. With frank letting her come in each morning to be mom. With frank offering flexibiliy where the kids are concerned. With frank giving her time rather than pressing for D, implying a safety net she can "come home" to.

Yes, a great life without responsibility.
Yeah, it sucks this is the way it is but I do it for the girls sake, not hers.

I wish I could be there to see the reality on her face when reality hits. And it will. How she is living and behaving now will be a memory once she really is alone.
She'll never be 'alone'. She seems to be able to find an OM so she doesn't have to actually BE alone. However, she will be financially alone at some point.

Or, she will find that most of the men she meets are incomplete.

Or she will be happy with someone simpler.

Keep going frank. Can I offer a word of caution? "With frank doing..." as I wrote above, there is a fine line before you cross over into enabling behavior on your part or her taking advantage of the situation at your expense.


Agreed. I don't give her anything more than I have to to keep the girls happy.
