Eric,
I want to thank you for posting your daughter's questions and the answers which seemed almost benevolent in the face of the cruelty of MLC.
I fear this ground will soon be walked by me as my D7 has already asked a few of them. But the path you've laid out is inspirational even as I was getting pi$$ed off while reading. "Go ask your sl*t of a mother" often flashes into my mind, but we both know that outburst is only satisfying until it passes the lips.
You have unbelievably firm footing for the next phase of your life. I'm 14 months in and there's no D talk yet, W still cake-eating. But the impact on the kids remains the same.
Good to know you are, in fact, human. And that others need to be reeled in from the LBS cycle.
