[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m divorcing my second husband, and my 17yo daughter, who believes she knows it all is super invested in this whole process. She wants to know everything about everything that we’re doing involving this divorce, and personal things regarding finances, etc. She’s constantly asking questions, and will not stop talking about it. She usually has a hard time not getting involved in adult business, so this is common for her. I’ve told her all the basics, but she has trouble taking no for an answer, and throws fits when she doesn’t get her way.

What should I do? How much should I share?[/quote]

Tricky. BTDT.

It’s not her business or her burden. Don’t discuss it with her. It isn’t appropriate. She isn’t your girlfriend.

When I divorced my cheating ex, my then-15 yo DD deduced what was happening and I refused to discuss it with her because there was no way to do so without disparaging her mother and i wasn’t going to do that. Unfortunately, our relationship suffered because of that.

I realize your current husband is not your DD’s father. Still, you need an act with dignity and not share details with her.

Good luck. [/quote]
