SA, I'm sorry. He really didn't want to go and was telling her what she wanted to hear when she first asked him about going. I can't even imagine telling my child the stuff he did about sitting and listening, etc. That is a very selfish man who is still acting out as a teenager. He very well knows what a campus tour involves and he should be supporting her in this, not finding excuses.
If I were your daughter, I would plan to go w/you and not say another word to him about it. Your daughter shouldn't have to beg her father to go with her. I know that you and your daughter will make some very special memories on this trip. Make the most of it and do not give him another thought...he's the loser here.
Yes, he is still crazy, but he's the pompous @ss.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
