[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like maybe she's overwhelmed at the prospect of integrating another adult into the family. The age your DD is at, she may be dating and thinking of marriage and how her adult life will go-- and you've thrown a curve ball into what used to be a "new normal" after the divorce. When you divorce, you dump a lot of long-term logistical problems onto your child's lap, and she may be waking up to that and what a hassle it's all going to be, and she wants to opt right out. I think you have to give her time-- that's really the only option. The bottom line is that people have the right to estrange, even if the estranged person thinks their reasons are inadequate.[/quote]
