I want my kids back and am growing increasingly concerned about how her attitude towards men, fathers and husbands will affect them longer term. In short, I am worried about having 3 little future divorcees.
Both parents have good and/or bad influence on their daughters. Your relationship (including teaching conversations) is so important in what type of role they have in future relationships with men. Every father should be a hero to his daughter. Not the superman type, but living and teaching her about self value and respecting the other person in relationships.
It is very sad that their mother seems to have taken on the same attitude toward men that her own mother has. Your W was probably influenced by that bad attitude of MIL for most of her life.
It will be a challenge, but with a show of strength and leadership......and talking to the girls as they grow up, I believe it's possible for them to develop a better viewpoint of the respected roles in a MR.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
