This is just a for reference only post for you from further down the road.
It's been somewhere north of 5 years since bomb day and yes I am divorced as well. Every once in a while my 16 yr old daughter comes in and jumps on the bed. It's discussion time.
I listen and validate and guess what the topic is.....Mom's so out there Dad. The cliff notes version is.....I'm glad you and mom are divorced for two reasons. one - Dad you deserve better and two - I get to see how two people have moved on and how they handle life. I have learned much from you in dealing with my friends and guys. Also you have a fun time,life seems cool. Mom deals with life negatively and you deal with it positively.
What I learned is my EX-W is still stuck in the tunnel. Still says things to hurt me and still will do things to hurt me. Guess what it doesn't. I've been off that train for a while. It probably took a couple years looking back now.
I'm single(date occasionally)but single dad life is pretty good.
I think you are doing great. I get it that you look at your and her weird behavior. When one has an MLC and doesn't get to the other side I think that is what you get. Confusion in one's mind tends to come out a little weird.
