Actually they are pretty serious, been together for 2.5 years and they just bought a house together a few months ago...Marriage is in the air but not set yet....

I went thru this for many years. Your ex is the cause of the problem. It is she who exposes your daughter to this type of behavior. I never let any man feel like he had to be a father to my daughter. i just let him know that i wouldnt waste any bullets, if he didnt respect her. i also let her know he was still the man of the house, she was to go to her mother first, and then me if she had a problem with him. Its a long hard road, and even at 23, my daughter expresses saddness, because we didnt stay together as a family. Good luck. Its not easy. ![]() My daughter does still hold a lot of anger and confusion to us not being together. She somewhat understands but the "want" to have Mommy and Daddy together will always be there...He doesnt act like her Father in any way, he does respect me in that fashion and has told me himself he likes how I am as a Daddy and wishes he could be the same to his two boys...He needs to realize that now there is a little girl that is in his life and should accomodate to her as well..... ![]() ![]() |

unfortunately you don't get to rule what happens in her home. you are the father and can try to console your daughter, but she will have to learn that what her mother choses, will b done. and it appears her mother chooses to go w/ the flow of the new beau! some women bend that way. your daughter will endure, and hopefully learn to b more independant w/ her relationships. what u can do now? request to see her even if its not her day to spend w/ u..its only paper, what ya'll decide is fine..u n the ex...so if she lets u..great..if not..daughter, i'm sorry..but that's ur mother at this time, and please understand she's try'in to make somethin w/ a man..which causes her to comply to his whims. b strong, n time'll pass. live n learn how NOT to b -in when in a relationship.

It's sad when a child has to be the one to put her foot down.
Your ex is selfish.... ![]() |

BUT I have less than ZERO tolerance for women (I use that term lightly) who put their happiness before their childrens. There have been times my ex has called and wanted to take my daughter places, and I have wanted to do things with her. But she doesn't see him as much as she sees me, so if I told them no, her heart would be broken... and although my heart might be a bit broken that she wants to go with him.... IT'S NOT ABOUT ME...IT'S ABOUT HER. |

I know I cant rule, but I sure can speak up and make my voice heard. She has no rights over me, it's a shared legal..we have 50/50 all the way. She can not make any decisions in any fasion towards my daughter without my approval and vice versa. We do have a good parenting relationship where we both give as much time ot each other as possible for any events so on.... My daughter is catching on to more as she gets older obviously. She is very wise to it and knows that I am here no matter what...I have dropped travel plans just to be able to spend more time with her..... |
