When I told her last week she couldn't go to Dance because she hadn't picked up her candy, she said : "fine, take away the ONE THING that makes me happy, that makes life worth living".
She doesn't know that she is literally the *ONLY* reason that I am alive.
Today I will tell her that I see 3 choices:
1. She can continue to snipe at me (and I could snipe at her, too)
2. We can sit down and fight it out until we agree.
3. We can agree to disagree.I find choice 1 unacceptable as it is just neverending anger. This would never lead to a resolution.
I am willing to try choice 2, though I think the likelihood of either of us budging the other is just about zero.
I vote for choice 3. I accept that she thinks I was arbitrary and unfair in my punishment of her, and unreasonable in my requests. She accepts that I think that she was irresponsible and uncaring for not honoring her word.
I bet she'll go for Choice 1.
