I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. My SD told me her Dad tried to make up excuses as to why he was getting out of his car at 630 am. He told her he had been at Costco. ( no bags and it opens at 10 am). Then said he had gone for a run. I know him well enough to know he will lie to me too if I question him or he will say SD is exaggerating. I told SD that the next time he is out past midnight on a weekday that she is to call me and I will come pick her up. That way she is safe plus when he finally shows up I can then give him an earful. Her Grandma ( maternal) and I are both very worried about SD. We also have to watch we don't alienate him as he has all the rights as the only parent.
I told SD that his behaviour is not normal and it has nothing to do with her. I told her he loves her as much as he is capable of loving someone. All she wanted to do was sit with me and cuddle. She is so sad. She loves her Dad and wants his attention so badly. I felt the same way when I was still in the home. Always waiting for something from him. At least then she still had me. It breaks my heart. One day he is going to be a very sorry man.

Accept what is...let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
