That's a good approach, I will use that when I need it.
Recalling our last meeting the problem was that no matter what comment I made about business, he got into defensive. For example he was gone to see OW for almost 2 weeks, so I asked what new business did we get while he was gone (since he didn't keep me posted). Wow...right away he got upset that I'm accusing him of not working when with her...yet he didn't have anything new to report. Or we discuss a job and I point out that the profit margin is lower then it was on the same job for the same client last year. He jumps that I should be happy that we got the job...I'm never happy. So it's very frustrating...He must know that business suffers when he is gone for 2 weeks, yet he is total denial. He feels guilty and gets into defensive right away.

That's a good thing
I will observe D a little longer and if I see unhealthy behavior towards her dad, I will address it with her.
While ago, I explained to her that he is going through difficult time and that he needs space away from us to figure himself out. She asked me if would take him back and at that time I said yes. Since then she saw him come and go few times. She also told me "Mom you are too nice to him". To that I answered that it's complicated that I loved him for 36 years and I still love him.
SA - thank you my friend If I could just manage my half of the business without talking to him...that would be so nice...it's having to deal with him and his MLC insanity that is the problem.
