[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t force anything. [b] Kid is 19, an adult. [/b] Let XDH and kid work it out.  Maybe XDH needs to be more assertive. Let him figure out how best to communicate what he wants.  [/quote]

I think this "18 and you are an adult" approach is silly[/quote]

They ARE adults when they are 18 and no longer subject to a custody schedule.

OP, my situation is a bit different because the divorce was when older dc was 18-but I let dc know that they always have a home with me and I support whatever choice they made regarding staying at their dads. Dc did at first spend a few nights a week there, but now rarely does, they have a full time job now and life and I barely see them myself. Dc has expressed that they wish dad would do some social things with them, like go places, but he doesn't offer ever (which is his same m.o. from the marriage).

I'd just stay out of it and tell kid to communicate with ex about it and do what they feel best.[/quote]

Dad probably gave up as you don’t support the relationship.  [/quote]

Good parents don't give up because of that. Time to put on your grown up pants and be a good parent without needing "support". You can do it! All by yourself! Just like you go potty.[/quote]

Its impossible as a parent to be parent without the other parent's support.[/quote]
