[quote=Anonymous]I assume some of this is the age. 11-year-olds can be assholes. It's why middle school sucks - all those hormones with no place to go. I wouldn't tell her he cheated, but I would tell her that left to your own devices, you would not be divorced and there is a lot more to the story than she can possibly understand right now. Someday she will understand how hard relationships can be. And that if you had stayed together, the constant fighting or resentment would have made for a very tense household. You didn't want her growing up in that environment. Just stay the course and try not to take it personally. She doesn't hate you; she feels comfortable enough with you to lash out and know that you won't/can't walk away. I used to tell my mother I hated her too. I feel bad about it now, but judging from what my friends say, it's pretty standard stuff for this age. [/quote]
