And I'm sure she's choosing misery. I'm sure she has no feelings and emotions. She's probably doing this all to punish him.

Kmjm, And she could do the same thing ... she could see her fathers pain and stress and she could leave.

But if he leaves the house he will be away from her and in the house she is being forced to deal with him.

There needs to be more kleenex in the rooms. I am moved by DIck's attempts. They ring true to me. They are what Daniele needs , and she needs them to go on at some length.

Jen, and how can you do the opposite? At least I've read some facts that I based my opinion on? I think it's SO very sad that the 'Dick hate" from the game is carrying over into this chat. It is a totally different issue, and way more important IMHO And sure you can. Just type witch, um with a B lolol. Was too tired to come up with another word, esp since that was the one perfect one.

My Father and I had a very rough relationship, I moved out a 17 and far away...we never talked and it was very strained...Alot of things were the cause of it but I didnt see my Dad for over 6yrs, and when I did see him he was dying of cancer in a hospital bed... We had a moment and we both told each other we were sorry, he told me he loved me and I did the same... I was 27..Im 51 now and I still suffer the guilt and pain of never repairing things with him.... things happen, I just hope that Dani and Dick can repair befor they loose that chance because living with guilt and regret is so very hard.. this whole segment was very tough to see... ..

Why does everyone expect Danielle as the child to be more mature and understanding than her father? It's the parent's job to make the sacrifice, not the child. That's what you take on when you become a parent, from then on there is someone in your life whose needs come before yours.

They are both hurt period. There is no right or wrong in this, only give and take. Hope she was honest in agreeing to counseling

Daniele is not a child she is almost 21 yrs old. I was married for 3 years at that age. She is HIS child but she is not a child, anymore than he is. Even if they BOTH act like it at times.

It's nice to call a 20 year old you don't know a name. I'm not having Dick hate. I'm having sympathy for the child here. Who you are calling names. I've read Vincent's posts too. Have you heard of brothers and sisters not gettign along? Sibling rivalry?

She is the child but she is 20, almost 21 now. At some point the child has to mature and the relationship has to change and both parent and child need to see the other side. If children don't want to keep being treated as children by their parents when they get older then they have to change how they behave and stop acting like the child.

I don't expect Daniele to be more mature. Not even as mature. Just some maturity would help her be a happier person. Maybe.

I don't expect her to be more mature than her father, but I know 11 year olds that are more mature than Danielle, sot what does that mean? There is no cronalogical order of maturity, numbers don't matter, development matters. One thing Dick said that made me go "yep" is that he didn't know what a young girl wants, he had no one to teach him. You are not born to know how to parent. If he didn't learn it from his parents, and Danielle's mother split, he was pretty much left to try and figure it out on his own.

The child in the relationship. When you have a fractured a relationhip, it's hard to deal on an even keel.

Well, then Dick needs to grow up too and start acting like a father and think of someone else's needs other than his own. It works both ways.

She has so much bottled up inside and that she has to deal with. And who doesn't act more immature with their parents? He still doesn't know how to put her first. He still is talking about himself. Even Dustin pointed it out.

Kmjm, That is in the "perfect" world. We do not live in a perfect world. Parenting does not come with instructions. Being a daughter does not come with instructions. You both have a role to play .... you both have a life to live. What you get dealt with as parents or as children is what you get and you have to grow your life around the situation. They are both hurting but Dick is building bridges .... Dani needs to grow up .... she is old enough to live with a boy friend ... she is old enough to deal with life.
