Your remarks are obsurd! How can you say "the daughter would drive me to drink, for sure"? While you might blame your own child for such a thing, it is NEVER the child's responsibilty! It is your own responsibility. A child does not MAKE their parent do anything! 

You also said: "she should love her mother no matter what, rather than give her an ultimatum." Hello! Who is the mother and who is the daughter here? The mother should love her children enough not to expose them to such things!
