[QUOTE="newstart, post: 740560, member: 22416"] SWOT, My daughter did not sit in with her dad and me at our financial meeting, she met privately and then came out to tell us that she asked and what she was told. I do not want to know all the details of my daughters business but it would be nice to hear the truth and a little bit of what is going on. My daughter wants to know all my business, where I am and what I do on a regular basis, I try to get distance and I have but it would be nice if we had a healthy honest back and forth exchange about everyday stuff. Right now it is a bunch of political BS that just wastes time and energy and she is the expert on what is going on and she has inside information only she knows. In all this I just listen for tone to see if she is ok or not. I would be happy with just a basic conversation like what I have with a neighbor or friend I have not seen for a long time and honesty would be wonderful. Jabberwockey, Yes, it was unprofessional for my adviser to tell my daughter what she did. I can tell you write from experience, 'Never stop hoping, but hope cautiously.' I know from my past experience that I always have one eye open for personal protection. Even though my husband seems tough on the outside, our daughter is very painful for him.. We are bereaved parents so things will be a bit different for us. I always ask him to teach me how to be strong like he is, to be able to walk away. He said it may look strong but he worries about her. Even though he acts like it is not that hard, it is very hard on him, he loves and cares for her deeply, he is just so sick of her constant 'not living right'. There have been times we both were going to quietly move and not leave a forwarding address or phone number for our daughter, this has been seriously considered. I wonder if things continue to be ugly if we would have the strength to do that..? [/QUOTE]
