I posted a couple of weeks ago about the issues I was having with my teenage daughter over her reactions to her father's insistance on her meeting his new GF and her kids. He had only been with this woman a few weeks and he had only told us the week before that she even existed. My daughter had some behavior issues in the next days after that and I was having a hard time dealing too.
Most of you agreed that it was too soon after just telling our daughter of our separation and divorce and about this other woman. Give her time to accept the situation and begin slowly introducing somebody new at her pace.
Well 2 days ago after only 7 weeks my stbx told me and my daughter that he had broken up with his GF.
A lot of you might think that this had to be going on for more than just 2 months for him to get that serious but unfortunately he has a frontal lobe head injury that causes him to act impetuously and feel things intensely. That doesn't explain what she was thinking though. He even said her kids were calling him Dad.
Thank god I listened to my gut and pushed him to back off of our daughter until she was ready to meet them.
There has been a lot better communication between my daughter and myself lately although we are still having the regular teenage issues.
Thanks to everyone who had suggestions. Now if I could just get through the CS and SS issues. My stbx has decided he already supported me enough over the years and he is even going to make it hard to serve him because he is planning on moving so he doesn't know if he'll be around to get served. Naturally he isn't giving up a new address to me yet. Our daughter calls him on his cell.
