| As some of you may or may not have guessed, I'm divorced and I have an 8 year old daughter from that marriage.
I'm now remarried and I moved from NY to BC two years ago, my older daughter's father lives in GA and after a year and a half started talking to her again. He was mad that I was allowed to move to BC from NY after I was granted sole custody and guardianship. So he's taking his anger at me out on our daughter.
Anyway as I said, he decided to start talking to her again last month and it's been very sporadic. He won't even make a set time to talk to our daughter, he just emails me the day of and says, I want to talk to our daughter, give me a time in your time zone (I think because basic math is too hard for him LOL) I don't think he understands the emotional and mental toll doing this takes on our daughter.
As for my daughter, she's 8, almost 9. She's started to call her step dad daddy and her father by his first name. She's trying not to let him bother her. She even said she wasn't calling him on his birthday, which was yesterday, because he didn't call her on her birthday.
I mostly just wanted to get this off of my chest, but is there anyone else who has gone through this? | |

| I'm not a person who's parents got divorced, but i do wanna say something to you. You are doing the right thing for your daughter. I mean, if he's taking out his anger of you on your daughter, then might as well get her as far away as possible from him. He sounds really, erm, unique, but anyways, I know what I'm telling you is quite wrong because your daughter is taken away from her real father figure, but what I'm telling you right now is that what you did by taking custody and taking her away from him is the best choice. Even though your daughter doesn't have her real father to love her, your new husband however can provide her with this love, and that's really what all she needs now. Take care of your daughter and continue to be a wonderful mother ^^  |
