Nicole, the strength you would need to stop worrying about how WAH is $crewing up his own life and to just concentrate on your own should be immense. Do not count on him in any way, emotionally or financially. I know you are strong mentally, I see that in your posts but it is also very apparent you still care for him a lot. You are still worried he may get into harms way if he treads on this path. Remember hon his problems are not yours anymore. He has fired you from that role. I wouldnt worry about the genes your D got from him, she is a blank canvas with an untainted mind, your upbringing will make her a strong independent woman. Just keep her out of your Hs unbalanced ways when you think he is out of control. -Arshi
