"I asked if she wanted to watch "Russian Ark", but she said no thanks."
Is there any way you could ask her to see something 'fun' for a change? Alot of your movie choices are more on the adult and serious side. Have you ever thought of just taking her to a comedy or a cartoon or something that isn't so heavy in subject matter? I mean watching a film about Russian ghosts that reads more as a history lesson isn't exactly a 15 year old's idea of fun. Even the chess match, I mean, how about playing something less "stuffy"? This is for her, not for you.
When she was young, didn't you ever take her to see a Disney film or something you just don't have to think about? That's what fun is.
"I really do feel like d15 just prefers W, and consoled myself with hateful thoughts re W on my walk yesterday. "
Why do you need to have 'hateful' thoughts of your W? I mean you haven't done much to improve your situation. You still don't stand up to her and take charge of things and right now your resentment is coming up as passive aggressive actions. These are of your own doing and not your W's.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
