[quote=Anonymous]Are you a family or not?  If you and your DH raise your children separately, what is the concern that she's pushing them away?  If in fact you do try to be a unified family then you need to have the hard convo with your DH.  Maybe it's that you put all of your money into her education at the expense of building your savings.  She can still take loans with the idea that you'll help her pay them back, thus spreading out your ability to pay for her schooling far beyond the actual "tuition paying" years.  But can you count on your DH to provide financial help to you in retirement?  That's a consideration.  You need to talk to him - not wit the idea that he'd pay for her school - but about how you paying for her school affects your long-term plans as a couple.

That said, a lot of the emotional damage is already done.  Someday she will be mature enough to understand the dual family division, but right now she's just not there and she's hurting from the injustice she perceives.  Right or wrong, it's how she feels.[/quote]
