Just as I suspected.

So much for her fears about you and other women in AA. It's ok for you to go when she is NOT around? lol

Doug I think it's important to make it clear to her that this is not about control but about doing the right thing. Your RECOVERY is what's at issue. It's important to make this clear to her. She is seeking to control
your behavior, and it's likely just a matter of time before she applies more pressure (in the form of stressful circumstances?) to get you to drink and co-sign her denial.
I predict that there will be a time when your daughter will thank you for the difficult decisions you need to make. Children understand these things better than we often give them credit for. Ultimately only you can decide what is the right thing to do.
