[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638684, member: 1550"] I'm fuzzy on this too, GM. But she can be trying to detach yet still allowing Daughter to live there and paying her way, yet focusing on the grandkids. Or the father could feel it is his duty to support the daughter, even though she is of legal age. I am not at all clear what is going on. Whatever it is, nobody can control another, not even a spouse. But you are right. It was not explained. Either way, seems a shame to let this destroy such a long term marriage, however I know it can be hard when two parents can not be on the same page, even when the child is older. GM, this is to you now. Seems you and I have the same problem of getting up in the middle of the night. I kind of like to be up when almost nobody else is...life is so still and peaceful. Then I come here, which is my sanctuary, and reflect on my own life and the lives of others who have walked my path or are walking it. This is my favorite time of my life...the darkness, the solitude, and I feel so safe :) Often, I also read a lot!! [/QUOTE]
