[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 365291"] A little update... I texted difficult child yesterday and said little, but I guess much. Used few words and even less energy. Basically said I said I was disappointed to hear of how she treated her father and in my humble opinion he deserved better + an apology. She called husband and said she was sorry. She decided to "grace her father with- her presense." (Oh brother). The best part of it all...husband and I really didn't care either way. I like for there to be a lesson in these things for difficult child. I hope she learns from experience. I hope she figures out that there is a right and wrong way to behave. I hope she figures out that her father deserves respect. Who knows. What was nice is that NEITHER husband nor myself worried, fretted or concerned ourselves with it. If she came to dinner, that would be nice. If she did not, that would also be nice. husband and would/will go to dinner either way. It was simple...in this case, no conversation was required. Should go well. If she says or does anything inappropriate between now and dinner time...I assure you, I can 'uninvite her' in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
