And that my friend is the big reason you must detach and stop trying to control the situation. As you have learned, at the end of the day your W will do what she wants, when she wants and how she wants and there is not a thing you can do about it.
I don't see how I am controlling anything. I can't control what job she takes or what she chooses to do. I would actually think by me trying to punish her for bad behavior that, that would be me trying to control her. I am not trying to control her in any way at all. I am there for her if she needs my help, but I don't try and put any sort of controls on her.
