I will get some Allen stuff to Aunt.

Wish I didn't have to email it.

They will learn, I guess.

But they have to hear the truth from me so when it comes out, they will know I was right. And I warned them.


Exactly. I think when you show them Allen's stuff, they will see if nothing else that YOU are trying to preserve your family and protect your daughter. It's tough, I know. It's like my sitch right now where I had to expose H's activities to D18 and S16 and find the balance between knowing they love their dad and not wanting to make it a mom vs dad thing yet to have them stand up in defense of the family. Of course, in my sitch they're my kids too - not H's family of origin, so they have a vested interest in their relationships with me as well. I do think it helped them that I talked to them about healthy relationships and it not just being an issue between "mom and dad" but about our family as a whole - and their emotional/physical/financial well-being. In other words, I tried my best to make them understand they weren't choosing sides except to choose the side of "We want our family together. We want to be a whole family, not a divided family."
