Hey Matt,

I hope dinner went well with your ds tonight.

I don't have any teenagers myself, but I've worked with them! I agree with the ladies above. Let your d see you confident and as being some place safe for her to go. I know youre pressured with the L and courts about where she's going to live and all of that, but let her figure it out on her own. She feels the pressure of picking parents as well as starting a new school. That's a lot for a teen. She wants to focus on her life and get settled to where she feels most comfortable.

Don't push her and she won't fight and resent you. Let her see for herself how W is manipulating. She'll pick up on that. Be her father and support her no matter what she chooses. Just like the MLCer, it's not always about us.
