Thanks for getting back with me. I really wish some days someone would pull her aside and "set her straight". Yesterday I felt that there might never be a day where she'll really appreciates me, no matter what I do. After reading your post I definately played through that approach quite a bit. For now I'm not going to LRT, but I'm not pushing it completely aside either. Perhaps, like you said, maybe I need to put a time line on this.
I don't know if I'm much for painting pictures, no one sees me as a threat till I act, then their all surprised. If I get to that point, there will be very little said, just action. Never in my life did I want my children to go through this, or it's possible results, but I'm not going to leave them "sitting on a ledge". Maybe in the future they'll respect me for having the strength not only for giving it all I had, but being strong enough to cut and move on when necessary.
Time will tell. If I have to single Dad this family, I will, they will know who really loved them by my actions. They know I do what's needed for them in their lives, maybe it's time for me to step it up a notch and take it solo. Hopefully my experience will help them in their decisions. W says she loves them, I guess we'll see.
