[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 443071, member: 9175"] I can relate to so much of what you've posted. My DEX, who abandoned his family to pursue happiness in the form of young females, swooped right in when I called difficult child on some pretty big lies and some seriously bad behavior. He "understood", he was sympathetic...he even said to her once "if you ever need to talk, remember, I dealt with her (meaning me) for over thirty years." She moved in with him and he went into full-buddy mode. He has redeemed himself - at her expense. It sounds like your difficult child's dad is doing pretty much the same thing. But, remember, our difficult children are very smart. She knows what she's dealing with as far as he goes, but it's working for her now. As hard as it is (and I'm there RIGHT NOW), you have to give her the chance to miss you. Yes, you made mistakes - we all have. But I'm guessing you did far, far more things right than you did wrong...and I'm pretty sure she knows that, too. Keep sending her messages from time to time. Let her know you love her no matter what. As hard as it is to miss out on the day to day things right now, your patience will likely reward you with more time with her down the road. Hang in there and stay strong. Dash [/QUOTE]
