What do you think about this?
20 y.o. SD....spoiled, only child, father has never told her no ever, hated her mother for years. Doesn't appreciate anything. We have gotten along great until about 2 years ago, when she went away to college when I believe it got worse...last summer was the worse..telling my husband lies about me constantly which I was defending myself... last September she cussed him out for something nice he did for her and didn't talk to him for 2 weeks...I found a letter from him to her begging for her forgiveness, that his heart was aching (vomit) and would do anything to fix the problem, nothing about all the cuss words she used towards him.....then I found a letter back from her, very lengthy, saying that when she was 7 he told her that no woman would come between them and that for the last 7 years she has been "screaming at the top of her lungs" that she doesn't like me...totally untrue....(we did everything together and were great together, everyone commented how wonderful we got along) and she told him as long as I was around she wouldn't be part of this family...didn't come home for the holidays so he went to her...spent Christmas day at his ex's and her family and daughter which I found out later.... while he left me and my kids at home over Christmas. He spent 4 days and nights in her bed, in our home, yes she is 20,....after her wisdom teeth were pulled while I was downstairs in our bed alone all that time. I had to leave for Texas for a week to go to a very close friends funeral and did not get one phone call from him....I came home and went straight to my moms and haven't been back home since January. After that letter in September where she gave him the ultimatum he withdrew from me....did totally unacceptable things to me....and it's so ironic that during her high school years we had 2 girlfriends of hers at different times live with us because of problems they were having with their family, and both times she started getting jealous and told her father lies about them to get them to move out....and now it's me. He told me he doesn't want a divorce but wants a legal separation which we are in the process of doing now...but I am thinking that this will never change, she will always be there, he does admit she has a problem but he isn't pursuing her to get help, just enabling it. I am thinking of just divorce and I am so angry at him and her and all the time I wasted trying to make this work for all 3 of us and for her to just stab me in the back and for him to not have my back. We actually work together (but in the process of looking for another job) in the same office and do things together and as long as she is not spoken about or in the picture we are fine...but I know she will always be in the picture forever.... Just confused and hurt...I don't know what to do. thanks for listening

Sorry, but DIVORCE.

Two words:
RUN AWAY.
He has clearly shown that he is going to go through any lengths to please his daughter, including a legal separation which is like a divorce. What purpose does that serve other than to make her happy?
Your name implies you've been the doormat for a long time, but it's never too late to stop. We're always here to listen but you need to decide what is healthy for YOU, and everyone owes themselves to be at least HEALTHY, if not happy.
This is not healthy.

What is the point of a legal separation????? It only benefits him as it will make his daughter happy but there is no closure for you - not to mention no division of assets and alimony. PLEASE go see a good attorney and do not think that if you are "sweet" during all of this and don't insist on your rights he will "wake up and realize what he has done." I hear that from clients every day and it makes me want to scream. It never happens - they are just relieved that they have more money to spend on pursuing what THEY want whether it is another woman or in this case, his spoiled child. Please protect yourself and get what you are entitled to!!!!

I know I know, agreed nothing
I know I know, agreed nothing is going to change....I don't see it changing at all...the legal separation at least keeps me on his medical but other than that everything is split along with alimony just like a divorce. And he doesn't think I deserve alimony because of the short time we've been married even though he makes 250k a year and I make 11.00 an hour. And that's another issue that's bothering me....why would he say he cares for me and wants to go above and beyond and to be fair to me but refuses to pay spousal support...just sending me away on basically nothing. I just don't get it.
What "he thinks" about you
What "he thinks" about you getting alimony/spousal support is irrelevant. What matters is what the support master/judge or whatever they are called in your state thinks. And he can be required to keep you on his medical following a divorce as well as a legal separation.
If that is the kind of crap he is saying when you talk then why bother at this point? I respectfully suggest that you tell him you don't want to hear from him unless he is going to be telling you how sorry he is and what changes he will be making to keep his daughter out of your relationship.
Agreed 100%!

I have an attorney and she
I have an attorney and she says he's being an asshole...which he is...You're right about no closure.....that makes sense.
What benefit is it to you to
What benefit is it to you to be legally separated? Divorce him & move on. Why should your life be put on hold when he has obviously chosen his mini-wife?
