Your daughter might be making a mistake by not buying your car from you. She might. BUT – it is her mistake to make and she is old enough to make her own choices. It’s difficult as a parent to sit back and watch our kids make a mistake that you can easily help them avoid but it’s also our job to let them fail (assuming not catastrophic consequences). If it ends up being a mistake, she will have to figure out how to fix it and will learn from it. That’s part of being an independent adult. Best thing about that situation would be getting to tell her “told ya so” (I’m kidding). You made very nice offers to her and she is forging her own path where many would just sit back and be lazy and take handouts – good for her! She sounds smart and independent.
You both had LOTS of experiences before you met each other, I’m sure. You’ve traveled to different places. You’ve eaten different foods. You’ve been to different concerts and seen different movies. None of that takes away from anything that you’re experiencing TOGETHER. She chose to spend her life with YOU and start a family with YOU so clearly, whoever came before you was not as special. You need to let it go. Anything that happened in her past before she met you is part of what made her who she is, and that’s the woman you fell in love with. So let it go, before you ruin what you have NOW because of something that happened before you even met.
