My 15 year old is still hoping her dad will come home even though we are divorced and both of us are seeing other people. She said she will never accept anyone else in her life. It is so hard. She now tries to play games with me and threatens when she doesn't get her way that she will pack her bags and go live with him. This has been going on for about a month now. Last night I finally snapped. I told her go ahead and pack her bags and I would take her over there. I felt bad after doing it but what else could I do?
She called her dad and he told her to come on but that I would have to pick her up in the morning and take her to school. Umm, no way. If she wants to live with her dad then he can do it. She ended up staying home. She does this when she doesn't get her own way.
Trapt, you have done a wonderful job with yourself and your kids thru all of this. I hope your daughter does well with school. It is a big step for her (and you too). I cried when mine went to school.
Knowing a father cares so much for his kids makes me realize there are good people out there. Don't ever let go of that bond you have with your kids. (My xh went 2 months without talking to our oldest because she wouldn't accept his girlfriend) You are a great person. I am honored to say I know you. Ok, enough before I tear up. Have a super day!
