Oh and yes, I would absolutely punish my daugter if she did the same to her husband. Engaging in the destructive behavior is vastly different to temporarily tolerating it (with boundaries). Also lets not forget why. I'm trying to save our marriage so m y daughter can have a stable life, so she can break the cycle that my wife could not. And of course I still hab some love for my wife.

Had we not had children, this would have been over a looooong time ago. I have to live with the outcome of this, and be able to look my daughter in the eye and say I tried everything.
