hey violet,
Plain old control issues is my guess. She would insist that i did'nt do anything and made my daughter do everything. My W had and still has a tendency to see things like she wants too as opposed to how they actually are. My daughter took it upon herself to help as much as possible because she was old enough to see and resent what was going on. She knew for at least a year just like i did that it was just me, her and the kids.
