i have an almost 17 yr old daughter who lives in a group home. She & I have no relationship. Her father (my hsb) dotes on her and in his eyes she can do no wrong.....i cannot say anything to him about her...if it is negative he always excuses her and if it is positive he is so busy looking for the negative he can't really hear any positive.....anything i say seems to have no value if it is not what he wants (whether it relates to her or otherwise)...example: i asked him to make a definite schedule as to when he was going to visit her....(1st weekend of the month or 1st and 3rd...and if it was a day visit, overnight, or several nights) so i would know how to plan my time...he said no becuz it might inconvenience her and he didn't want to be held to anything....when he asked if i prefered if he visited her on sat. or sun and i replied "sunday" becuz i consider sat. "our" day he planned the next 5 visits with her on sat.....this child has figured out since she was 8 that she has him wrapped around her finger....we have 2 older children, but this one is the princess.....i am angry and resentful of his attitudes....we have been married for over 30 yrs and i find myself thinking lately that i just want to leave....our relationship has deteriorated...we tried marriage counselling, but he dropped out becuz he didn't like what i had to say...he will now only go about once every 3 mos....i cry a lot
