[Rick Lee]

Yes, his daughter seems to be the only angle I can come up with for motivating him to get it together. He really wants his life to revolve around her. But that makes it all the more puzzling as to why he doesn't take steps to make that possible. What he's doing now pretty much guarantees he'll only see her a few weekends a month after much driving to and fro. When he was here last summer, the only time he ever picked up his phone was when his daughter called at 7pm on the dot every night. He adores her....as much as he hates his estranged wife. I'm not a grudge-holding kind of guy and he never was until this happened. Life is just too short to be consumed by anger and bitterness. My dad told him, "Resentment is like taking a spoonful of poison every day and waiting for the other person to die." Of course, Phil nods in agreement, but continues his hatred. I just don't get it. He has much bigger problems now than getting even with her.
