Gina,
I think you did the perfect thing here. Not only are you doing what is best for you & your girls at this point in time, but you are teaching your daughter (by your actions now) what is & is not an acceptable way to allow yourself (& her, by means of proxy) to be treated by someone you "love".

You know I love you as well!

Cosign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My girls can "hate" me all they want....when I don't give them what they want or think they need. They are the child.....I am the adult. 

I think you handled that beautifully too...you acknowledged her feelings (validated them) and still you showed her healthy choices. She will end up respecting you for that! Hugs!!!
