Hi Irish,

I have been meaning to comment sooner. I have been dealing with a lot of the same memory issues that you have. I swear at times that my ex forgets we are divorced. She somehow feels that my income is still ours to decide how is is spent. She is terrible with money as it is and cannot comprehend when some is too expensive. So then when she can't afford to make her share on payments for daughters college stuff she looks to me to bail her out. I have started to push back on this, let her know how her decisions have affected us all and that she has to make choices going forward to fix this. Within a day or so its like these conversations never take place.

I am starting to wonder about this loss of memory. Is it a result of the MLC or a skill they develop to not face the results of their actions. I am starting to lean towards the later.

I would not loose sleep over this Irish. I don't believe the behavior will ever correct itself without a lot of help. Neither of our exs are getting that help so not much we can do.

Keep being the father you are to your daughters. I can tell you, based on my experience with my daughters that it will pay off for you. They will recognize that this person is not the mother they knew. They may have a relationship with her, but will always seek you out for advise and support. You can take comfort that they will realize that you are their rock. A role their mother can no longer full fill.
