This private school situation was explained to her months ago, and I dont know why stbxw even let her apply. It's not an option. The main reason that D18 wants to go there is because a friend goes there which is not a good enough reason to spend more than 140k over the next four years for a bachelors degree. I am just frustrated because once BD, then the fllodgates were opened and so many things are happening that I could control before are happening and I am just an observer. So I not only lost my best friend who morphed emtionally into some cold hateful shrew (but looks better that she's looked in years) but I also lost my co parent who was helping co parent the family. Now she is a liability.
