HOW DO I UNSCREW THIS?


I don't really know FL. Can it be unscrewed? Maybe not, but it can be made better. I remember talking to my boys when they were angry with their dad. What I wanted to do was say, yep, he IS an a$$, but I didn't. I know she's nutty right now, but it seems to me that your W is asking for her daughter to show some respect that's been lacking. And I don't honestly see anything wrong with that. It's a little late, but better late than never. So, have a talk with your daughter. You're paying the bills no matter how old she is. Ask her to sit down with her mother and show her some respect. If it doesn't work, at least you would have tried. Can't hurt.

HOW'S THAT FOR A DAY?


Pretty rough FL, but it's over now.

As far as your W telling the therapist that she could never be your friend, it's her loss FL. Be the better person here because she evidently cannot.
