Maybe you could just humour Miniest for a little bit? See where this goes? It could be that they’re still working things out or it could be something that sticks. If it does they’ll manage so much better with your support.

They’ll still be your kid and everything you love.

I think that'll be my overall plan. Let her grow how she will, and just be there for her. Ultimately, as long as she has loving and mutually respectful relationships with people, that's what I care about the most.
