My daughter has always been hostile towards my dating, even years after her father's death. It’s exhausting, and her behavior doesn’t change regardless of my attempts to communicate.
I finally drew a line, telling my daughter that while she does not have to support my love life, she needs to be civil. I am the parent, she is the child.
