I think when it comes to dealing with an Adult I expect an apology and can understand your wanting one from you DSD and derserably so too. In your situation I personally would screen the calls if its possible and if you see either of their numbers popping up I'd just tell DP that it will be for him.

I'd not bother wasting my time with either of them anymore, you won't ever get a real apology nor will you ever get any respect from them and sadly there is nothing you can do to fix that. All the hurt and worry they both cause is not healthy for you and you deserve to be better.

I come from a long history of " do as I say, not as I do" and have always been expected to apologise but when the OP has been in the wrong its "I'm sorry but ..." which is not an apology, or I have been flat out told that they have done nothing wrong.

SO yeah, I expect an apology if someone does the wrong thing, but I know that for some people its an impossible ask and where I find that, I eliminate contact as much as I can for my own sake.
