My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

In Indiana can't your daughter choose who she wants to stay with? She is 14 years old. You SHOULD give your daughter the power to dis-own (sp?)her father.

At the age of 14, they get a large voice in where they live--but she lives with me 4 days out of 7, and she is happy with the division of time. Except when she's with her father, she wants to have time with him, not with OW and her family. And that doesn't come from me; she was a part of D's life for a full 7 months before I was even aware of it, and she hated sharing her father's time with this woman who helped break up her family. And babysitting for her grandson. And cleaning the woman's house and barn. Ugh. The thing is, D14 is a very agreeable child, and would probably have adjusted eventually if xH handled this with any tact or sensitivity instead of rushing it and refusing to consider D14's feelings. I think it's probably a lost cause at this point.
