[quote=Anonymous]This isn't about anxiety. It's a story that is as old as time ... an ADULT female trying to control the territory/home. SD is essentially pissing on OP's fencepost. She is not a child and should not be treated like a child.

These texts are about "...wanting to get ice cream after dinner or funny things she wanted to share with him" so no, it's not all about the SD's anxiety issues. That's a handy excuse for purposely excluding OP in her own home, at her own table, and probably at the meal she made for everyone.

It's perfectly fine if the dad and daughter want to go out once in awhile and spend time alone. But not by purposely and intentionally excluding OP at dinner every night. That is mental cruelty.

If mental health issues are of such importance, then what about OP's?

She could easily say, "The two of you texting each other is mentally cruel and is the cause of my depression. I need you to both put away your phones when we are at the table and include each other in conversation. Anything less than that will be considered bullying behavior and will make me anxious and depressed."

Let's see how quickly her partner dismisses HER concerns. If he doesn't, and agrees to go no-phones, there is hope for this relationship.

If he dismisses OP's mental health then it shows which adult female has the top spot - and it isn't her.
