First I want to thank everyone for all of their advice and support. I would be lost wthout this board and the people here. A special thanks to grasshopper who seems to always extend great advice to everyone no matter what is going on his life...thank you. And also to preserve, your last post gave me the kick in the pants I needed, it summed up what we should all be doing in one great post...thank you.

Now today I started over. She dropped my daughter off on her way to work and I spoke to her just breifly. I told her that I had been acting selfishly lately and that I'm sorry. We have been fighting about the house and who was going to be living in it, I had told her she had XXX amount of time to be out. That was really just a reaction to moving back into my parents...a place a really don't want to be...at least not live there. Anyway, I was very apologetic and told her to take her time, if snow flies and she still can't be out then that's okay. She seemed very shocked because I was nice, smiley and pleasant. Joking she asked if i had gotten laid, I said no that it just felt good to do the right thing. She left and over all I think it was a pleasant exchange. I did tell her that I'm afraid that she won't be able to afford to be on her own...realistically there is no way she can do it. So I'm just going to sit back, help her as much as I can and hope that it all works out for the best.

Thank you all again for all of your advice. This site really does help to keep things in perspective.
