Great points Arsh and ovrrnbw. I will heed these pieces of advice moving forward. We seem to be getting to a point where communication is almost non existent. But I feel like I NEED to speak to her if only to halt the seeming inevitable destination of going through lawyers, I really do not want that. I have tried to speak to her about all manner of things, not even R, M or C stuff and she just starts a fight each time, accuses me of being angry or moody, criticising, talking down to her, calling her a victim and then states the conversation is over and walks off. I am trying so hard to ensure I am calm, collected and reasonable. I cannot allow this nasty atmosphere to continue and I will not go down the lawyer route especially if we have not even tried councilling or mediation first.
She has always said I was criticising or talking at her, thought I was her father etc. I could never understand this, as much as I tried, because I know it not to be true or meant in the way she perceived it. I always find her ultra sensitive and always taking a massive leap from A to Z with no plausible explanation in my eyes.
