[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I haven’t read the whole thread, and I hate to be so harsh but frankly your daughter just sounds like a spoiled brat. Even high achievers can be entitled jerks, even more so because they think they are so smart.  It’s sounds like neither you nor ex-wife enforce any type of consequences for her obnoxious behavior and by now it’s far too late.

The people blaming this on your divorce are just wrong. When my parents divorced my father was way more of a jerk than you and I never acted this way to him. You can have a relationship with her while not tolerating rude behaviors.[/quote]

You make good points and thanks so much for your reply.  She has had plenty of consequences as I outlined in a response above.  She's only spoiled in the sense that during the divorce, she "got away" with more than she might have, and that imnsho, my ex involved and empowered her in the process in such a way that she felt she had rights and authority she absolutely didn't.  Long story, but something I will have to navigate for a long time I believe.[/quote]
