I'm finally at a point I'm seeing more than just myself. This man was not her father, yet she grew attached to his children and him. He really has damaged her emotionally by involving himself so deeply in our lives.
Yes I'm better off without him, but she is beginning to show signs of depression for sure. Since I don't have custody all I can do is beg her dad to get her the help she needs, and in addition ask people to pray for her. I deeply regret the day I met him. __________________ Son: 14, 12/15/2009 R.I.P.  Daughter: 20  Diagnosis: Bipolar with Psychosis. Latuda 100 mgs. |

I'm sorry you are going through this. It is hard to sit back and watch a child suffer. I hope her dad will get her the help she needs. Take care of yourself.

While my ex-husband is considered to be the primary custodian of our 2 girls, I've had to step up a few times and make sure that they got the care that they needed.
For instance, my ex had been simply taking the girls to walk-in clinics when they were real sick, or if the school nurse requested shots to be done. I felt that they needed regular care by one pediatrician who could get to know them and be there for nearly every issue. My ex wasn't happy about it, as he feels that I'm always going to doctors for dumb reasons. (pet peeve between us, sorry) Anyway, I insisted, and he gave in pretty quickly.  It's been very helpful, as I've had to refer to the pediatrician a few times & she's been a big help!I hope that your ex will look at your daughter with the perspective that she may require some professional help in dealing with what she considers a loss of close relationships. Best wishes to you both! __________________ "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." - Martin Luther King Jr. "Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace." - Author Unkown |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
