[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]okay - I have a clear picture what is going on. You need to stop managing your daughter's relationship with her mom. Each time you step in it teaches your daughter that she is not able to stand her ground with her mother, and it likely makes mom feel like her daughter is siding with you (rather than making her own choice). You have got to work with your daughter (or pay for a few sessions of therapy) on identifying her own preferences, communicating them, and not being overly worried about what you or her mom think of her. Help your daughter figure our how to do this and will have given her a better gift than a car.[/quote] +100 on helping her to identify her wants/needs and learning how to stand up for them and set boundaries. If she can't do this with her own mother, she will not be able to do it in romantic relationships, and that can create a lifetime of pain.[/quote]
