Although your D is 20 and may feel the same way. I would try and not say these things to her about her dad. Remember…right, wrong or indifferent she is half him. Otherwise, I think your approach is spot on.
Boundaries are tough….. especially when you are not used to using them. I am so proud of you. You are starting to really realize that it is not YOUR job to fix everybody else crap. Kudos to you.

As hard as it is….try and teach yourself to STOP always ASSUMING the worse. This type of thinking will do nothing but just keep you in a negative frame of mind. Think positive…think positive.
