The year of not my problem

[AJM]

Update:
Still waiting to hear from the lawyer. Worked with her yesterday to correct some mathematical issues (about 12K worth in my favor). Silly lawyers and their math....

I feel changes in me again. Seems to go in fits and starts, but I feel it coming again. Not a bad thing, but more moving forward. I suspect I'm just feeling the end of the negotiations (again?) and like a horse heading for the stable, I'm ready to get there and get this off my radar.

Other things? Things are good. Work, personal life, etc are all good. I could stand for my daughter to be less rude, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is mostly normal and partially her way of showing her displeasure at the situation. She has stayed away from lashing out at me for the whole thing, and I suspect as she learns to trust her mother more (again), she is now shifting things to take it out on me. I know it isn't me, but rather her anger that she is aiming at me and also her wanting to control her own life without any intervention from me. She has options and in her place I might have done the same.
She has made some comments in the past few months about how she thinks I'm acting like a child because I won't talk to her mom. She also commented that I should sell the house (that was interesting) and hints at why don't I have a girlfriend (presumably like her mom has a boyfriend.) I don't expect her to understand any of that. It took me quite a while to understand all of that and why I make my choices the way I do. There really is no way to get her to understand either. She'll just have to figure things out her way and I'll have to be patient and wait to be more actively invovled. I'm thinking when she is 25 or so? (just kidding)

Peace!
