Oh another thing...I know my writing is not the best when trying to convey the true tone of a conversation but this was my daughters own words on the subject when I told her that seeing her mother was "making my heart sick." I told her that I was not trying to be mean to Mom but that is was not good for me to see her and she said, "That is what divorce is. Mom should know that." SHE GETS IT. Even my D8 understands that I should not be "friends" and getting small gifts, blah,blah.
I don't think I made anything worse at all. I am not trying to save my marriage any longer(we are divorced already)or our friendship. I can make new friends.
