CTH - Just keep doing what is best for your daughters. There is a lot I do that "helps" H out a lot, but I do it not to help H, but to help S have the best time possible so I might be doing too much, but I don't care because it makes S's life better.

I am glad the girls went to a counselor because they do need to learn to express their feelings, and it is good for them to be a part once in a while. My oldest nephews are 9 and 7. They do everything together (I know that is a closer age then your girls), but they are always fighting because although their parents are together, they always put the boys together and it is not good. Some sibs can handle it, others need their space and need an opportunity to be individual so I think splitting them up once in a while is good. I am sure they rely on each other a lot, but having time to be girls and be themselves alone is important as well. I also have found this is more true with girls than boys, but that could just be because my step-sister and I fought all teh time, but my brother and step-brother never did and we are the same age difference between us.

Continue on and if you want to remind STBXW to sign the papers why not, or have L remind her because it is your money now.
