[quote=Anonymous]Is she completely financially independent? Only when she is financially independent of you and Dad can you have an adult relationship with her, a peer relationship with her. A peer relationship means she has as much to lose as you do. She won't want to lose the relationship. That's the natural thing. So she will work at it near equally and she will know she's accountable. Meanwhile, I think you give her space. Give yourself space. What you did by shortening the contact when she visited was fine. How would you treat someone you're likely to see often and want to get along? (think neighbor) You're pleasant to be around and you don't get too personal. And you physically step out of the situation if a discussion becomes disrespectful. Time and her maturing is what you have going for you but it's unknown how long that will take.[/quote]
