#46 Tomorrow is Another Day

[kat727]

This last counseling visit the girls had, the counselor mentioned to both of them about saying something to their Dad about his weekends. He has made them go, even though they haven't wanted to for years. D17 will be 18 in November and D16 just had her birthday.

I believe here in KS they let you decide at 14 who you want to live with. They are with me the majority of the time. They told him in front of me..Yikes!! that they didn't want to go spend weekends anymore. I said that they still should do things with their Dad on his weekends and call him and email him and set up things to do. Ex was kind about it but has been emailing me how hurt he is.

Really I keep stepping back. I am empathetic and I don't need dragged in feeling bad for him. He does want to go and talk with the counselor. He doesn't want to accept that the girls aren't comfortable at his house (or even that they don't like his wife, his affair partner if you recall)

Seems to me that he is still making this about him instead of wanting the girls to get better from their anxiety and depression.
