The good news, I am getting fed up enough with this mess, it is really helping me detach. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. The anxiety is definitely coming down. The pile of stuff I wanted to vent to her, some of it has now been indirectly vented. I read in someone's thread about treating your W like a sister. In my case it's like a daughter than needs to grow up and learn things on her own, with no control or even help from me any longer. Rope dropped!!!
