Do I sound petty listing all her shortcomings and the things that bode poorly for her long term happiness ?

Sometimes I ponder the value of waiting for her to turn the corner back again.

Even if she did decide she wanted to make it work, could she ?

I don't think she looks at herself as needing to change and grow. Perhaps she does, but she has not admitted this to anyone I know of yet.

In many ways, I am relieved she is gone. Saddened,hurt but relieved. Her unhappiness was a cloud over our family.

I just don't know how to fix this for my daughter though.

Any children of divorce feel free to give me any advice here.
