Steve spot on for the criticism of the driver license discussion. That was pointless I never should have broght that up, it served no purpose.
As for the most recent convo with D18, I stepped in only when I felt that it was abusive, but didn't contradict W in any way.
As for treating WAW/WW like a child, it's true. i've even told her in the past, I'm not your Dad, you need to figure this out on your own. I felt like during the relationship I was trying to get her to be responsible, to up her game. I think all I got was a lot of resentment.
