Teenagers

A Happy ending

Anyone who may remember a few threads from a few months ago
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/teenagers/1828326-Daughter-and-wife-in-physical-fight-what-to-do
and
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/teenagers/1866107-Daughter-and-wife-in-physical-fight-part-2

I thought I'd give a sort of happy ending to all of this.

My DD and DW are getting along far better, and the worrying mean streak in both of them has gone completely - huge sigh of relief

Added to which - I've dropped out of the complex new role at work which was occupying so much of my time. I haven't resigned from work or lost any pay, I just changed to something less stressful. I 'm taking a week off work to spend some time with both of my DD's (no holiday this year so I have annual leave to use up). I'm hoping to move my teen DD to a different school which should foster her athletic interests more than i can. It's also the beginning of potty training for my little DD who has finally recovered from non-threatening but persistent medical complaint.

Life goes on and we're looking forward to the future.

Did your wife end up going to counselling?

Although I'm happy for you, please don't victim blame. This is on your wife, not DD.
