SD13 treating her Disneyland dad with the disrespect he deserves!!!

Struggling stepmum's picture

Day 5/6/7?? I'm so bothered I've lost count. Official days that SD 13 has took her stuff and how many days H has been wallowing in self pity. She finally responded to his inboxes with 'A (me) can drop my stuff off. And to do you want your pet? A firm No. Finally he sees the light!!!. His question to me? Should I see her if she wants. Absolutely I say. She is your daughter, she will need you and she's your responsibility. He says she's hurt me. I say? You created her you do right by her. Just do not expect me to ever involve her in my life again.

Ok, after a predictable sabotaged evening, I would love to hear from people whose husband changed their ways for good??

How many of you out there have husbands who changed for good. And how?. I've heard from ladies that after similar experiences to me accepted no change was ever going to happen. That is where I am now. Any of you have any positive stories? I am looking at secretly leaving this life. Is there any hope left??

As I predicted I was punished for whatever I did wrong????

As I predicted earlier. He spent all day trying to pick a fight. I resisted. One of his nicknames for me is big bird. He says it to me in front of kids. I'm a size 14 /and curvy. Never cared. I innocently mentioned it in front of his cousin and school friend tonight. The girls invited me to go with them and he said he is not looking Fter the baby tonight. So I went home. As soon as we got in the car he started, I had made him look stupid telling people about his 'pet' name? I didn't realise it was and he says it I front of all kids.

Mini wife and crawling dad

Sorry to go on today but it is so helpful to write this down. H is now getting angry with me. He said I bet she asks me to come back. Big pause. I said nothing. His response, "what am I going to say?". My response, she doesn't listen to a word you say and she's failing at school. Obviously she needs a change of parenting style while still young. And then he said but you can help me, what do I do I need advice. My response get lost, get a counsellor. Last time I 'helped' at your request I got undermined and two black eyes from a flying book. What a cheek! Am I wrong here?

Husband wants his daughter???

Day four of my SD13 moving back to BM and ny H is not any happier. He looks like he hasn't slept and keeps mentioning her randomly like people do when someone dies. Feel really resentful now. This could have all been avoided if he had parented her properly two years ago. Instead he's been a bad parent and a weak husband. Obviously my and our sons presence in his life doesn't make up for her not being here. I can't tell him how to feel. She's only round the corner!!! Feel very second place now. Is his behaviour normal.

SD13 wants to move back, is it wrong to say no?

Need some advice. SD13 moved in with husband and I two years ago at my insistence after falling out with BM. Two weeks ago she had contact with her for the first time in those years. Her choice. Three days ago she picked a fight with her dad took most of her things and moved back to BM. My husband is devastated as she has been a mini wife to him. Pretty much wrecked my marriage and made my life a misery. Partly her fault mostly BMs vendetta against me through the whole of my relationship. Largely now I feel my husband is to blame for his ridiculous parenting.

Am I wrong to not want SD13 to move back with us? She has nearly destroyed my marriage and made my life and my daughters a misery for two years. She moved out in a strop about being punished but now after three days wants to come back! Help I'm considering divorce. Am I wrong? Advice so needed
