Trusting, The more you resist, the more your D will want to go.

And having a teenager around might be interesting for the midlifer. He will have to be a real parent.

As far as you being more strict--trust your daughter and yourself. You have raised her well and she will make good judgments. Possibly more mature than his.

What I have noticed is that in reading these threads, the teenagers seem to gravitate to the non-MLC parent in the end.

As far as exposing her to OW--too late for that. Maybe it's time for her to see the real-life "healthy relationship" that he has, all the fun day-to-day interactions.
