Thanks fellers, for all your comments.
Yes, honesty and truth are paramount and I have certainly been honest with her. I just spoke to her a few minutes ago and she seems to be handling the situation well.
stx: Yep, the ex is a real piece of work sometimes. I'm much happier now that I'm divorced, much.
BorderDoc: Thanks, Bud.
Aces: Yep, I'm doing my best to teach her well, but I've had to dial back the political commentary, which causes her concern and a bit of angst. I've also had to try and gently counteract some of the stuff her mother teaches her, which I've not had a great deal of luck with, but I am working on it, just a bit at a time so as to not loose her attention. Thanks.
