That's wonderful!! I'm so happy for you. It's amazing how much easier it makes things when everyone is happy and drama free.

This is all very nice Daisy, and you sound happy about it, but the important question is how are things progressing with SD's anxiety?

Is she on meds? Under the care of doctor and/or therapist? Is there a plan to gently ease her into independence from her father, under the guidance of a professional?

What, exactly, is the plan to actually solve the problem and how are things progressing on that front?

Her anxiety to me seems slightly better. Of course she was a nervous wreck for her date and started talking anxiety and stupid shit. So i set her aside had a talk with her to try to not consintrate on her anxiety and think about how much fun she is going to have. My son had anxiety and through breathing we control it. I tried that last night with her and she did it. She does still go to therapy. I'm not sure if this boy is just distracting her from daddy and her anxiety and i'm not sure the plan just taking it day by day. Its not going to clear up over night. But to be honest and according to DH and I's therapist I think me telling them to leave and not put up with her shit was a wake up call for SD....Things are going well...We are now starting to do things together again. Baby steps very small baby steps....

YAY!! I knew this was the best choice for you. I did the same thing. I would not marry or live with, my DH for 8 ish years because of BM and SS. Was not getting into all that drama. It worked GREAT for us.

Glad to hear it. Enjoy it! I hope it continues. I think the separation and not giving in was a huge huge factor here. I agree with you, don't go back to that for a while. Let the habit really form with her better behavior and DHs dealings with her.
