Hey, good job Dad! These little experiences will work in drawing you and your daughter even closer. One day you may hear her say, "Remember the first time you took me shopping for a dress? We had a lot fun!"

As for your W, I believe in being civil if at all possible. It is much better than the drama we see in some other people's situation. It may feel a little strange to see your W acting like a neighbor, but she is actually doing the right thing by using the guest bathroom.....and closing the door.

You do a great job here on the board, Joseph. I hope you'll continue to be a help to newcomers.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
