[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 350385, member: 1991"] Sounds like you've got it carefully worked out, Miles. As for the "telling garbage" - can you insulate them from this to a certain extent? Make sure YOU don't tell any garbage, make it clear that this is just a sad situation that is nobody's fault, you know they love their mum and it is right that they do so, but sometimes people just need time apart. Push the "nobody's fault" angle and "nobody is saying anything bad" angle, so if she DOES say something bad, it will bounce back without you having to throw it (if you know what I mean). Step's right on the supervision - double-check the legal situation for your daughter's visitation too. You need to not only do the right thing, you need to be SEEN to do the right thing. And because you're male, you need to be seen to be bending over backwards to do the right thing. I think you made a wise decision on the visitation, although I do agree, you need to be really strict about it and tighten it up at the first need. Hopefully this will give your wife the impetus she needs to go get help. But if it doesn't - it's HER choice. Marg [/QUOTE]
