REQ: Looking for a thread from a fellow DBer...

BTW, instead of walking away this time. I went and closed the door to his office. Didn't slam it, didn't make noise, just closed it. He asked me... did you close it? I said yes. I don't need to be listening to that.

He nodded, hugged me.

He inched a progress to access with "her" to his daughter. He's all happy with himself at the moment. My question: Do you feel you're making progress? He said, yes... baby steps.

And then said to me: you are right about getting his daughter away from her and spend time alone with her. (I had made a comment about children who have separation issues because the parent holds on to the infant too protectively, let them sleep in their bed too long etc). It had to do with a completely different set of people, so he saw no threat in my comments.

Considering what we're dealing with, with the parasite... it's all part and parcel of her M.O. She is doing the same thing with her husband. She's a narcissistic nutjob. Expects my H and HER on again, off again H to jump when she says so. Only what SHE wants matters to her. H will put up with it only as long as it suits his purpose... access to his daughter. The fights will be explosive when he has to say no to her. (as they were before).
