QT I learned a lot about myself during this period. I learned that I don't like conflict. If I didn't like what she was doing I needed to let my angry tank to fill up. Than I would explode in a rage. Did that many times. June of 2011 I discovered that my daughter had failed every class and had missed 75 or so days from school. I lost my temper especially since exw spent all her time and money on a new hobby, horses.
I blamed exw for not being a better parent and spending all her time with horses. In reality I should have been more involved. But they would not let me in and lied and covereD for each otherm. My daughter will be 20 in December with a 9th grade education. I feel bad for her but it's her choice. We had save enough money for her to attend college. It's her life.
The finances will work themselves out. And what I learned is that when you go through divorce you must park your heart on a shelve. It all boils down to money and who gets what. Sad..
