[quote=Anonymous]Well, you did lie to her.  I think you should tell her the truth.  She is an adult and deserves to understand her own family dynamic accurately without being deceived by her parents.  If your X His comfortable fibbing about this, what else is he lying to her about?

I also question whether your home life was as good and your divorce is as amicable as you say, just because it's so common for divorced parents to be in denial about that.  In a healthy marriage you would have freedom and autonomy enough that you wouldn't need to divorce to get it.

At 24 she is probably wrapping her head around the idea that she'll be an ACOD for the rest of her life and be constantly having to deal with the hassle of it.  It really never ends.  First this girlfriend, she'll want to change things up and be making her own demands on your XH and it will affect your DD.  Then you'll start dating and that'll be a whole thing on the other side.  Then one of you will re-marry, maybe move, step-relatives will likely be a hassle in their own way.  It's a pain.  She's mourning the simple and straightforward life that she could have had.  You may be fine with your XH dating, but you're not the one who has to have a new stepfamily.  It's your DD who is affected, not you.  Open your eyes.[/quote]
