I felt your blessings last night and this morning.
You are such angels.

I feel better, but I am not speaking to either of them. This situation made me realize that there is a limit to how much verbal abuse a person should have to tolerate. And last night I reached that limit.

I am not going to back down until I get an agreement that either the daughter goes to counseling, or moves out at the end of the semester, gets a job and supports herself. I have been trying to get her to go to counseling for years.

Mercifully, our older daughter drove home very late last night from her job in NY state. She's here for the holiday weekend. She was a doll. She listened, hugged me, and agreed that yesterday's behavior was intolerable. (She got the whole story from her significant other, who's been living with us)

She's distracting their attention from me, which is good because I'm not willing to accept any lame apologies.
