CD,

Surely you didn't mean this part? ^

You intend to control her with rules, even if you're apart??

I have to give the rest of it some thought, and get input from the others. Don't get me wrong, I loooove the strong, confident new attitude, but there's something amiss here. I think it's this: while you can certainly control, to some extent, how others treat you via boundaries (and should!), you DON'T want to convey some elaborate, controlling system of "conditional love." The totality of your post strikes me as "if you do this, I will love you," which is the very definition of conditional love.

Again, needs some more thought, and some more input from others. Maybe it's just me.
