BUNS, ABS, AND HEART OF STEEL #3

[ACJ]

My D19 saw the 'bigger picture' way back when. She has tried repeatedly (usually at my request) to put things right between XH and her but you know what every time she does he hurts her even more. So now she doesn't bother with him at all. She has not visited him whilst she has been home, she did not buy him a present (her choice) and is celebrating the fact that her soon to be new sister did not arrive on Christmas Day. It used to bother me terribly that D19 and XH had no relationship as they used to be so close but it is him that has destroyed that not just by his action of leaving the family but the way in which he has treated her since. The last straw for her was when she went to visit D14 at his house. He asked if she had gone to see him and she was honest and said no. The result was that he frog marched her out of his house and told her not to come back unless it was to see him. Consequnetly she has taken him at his word.

I'm now just waiting for my other two children to become mature enough to see how he has manipulated them.
