[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am somewhat surprised that you think he should move on from a relationship with his daughter. I know age 17 seems mature, but it isn't. You need to encourage your daughter to stick to the visitation schedule so he has a chance to develop a relationship with her as she becomes a young adult. No, you can't force her, but you can tell her it's important to you that she do so. Can you guys come to a compromise here? He's not wrong...[/quote]

NP. It’s not important to OP. What’s important to OP is her daughter’s comfort and recognizing that her daughter is well old enough to have say in this. If the ex had done a better job fostering a relationship with his child, the child would WANT to spend time with him. She doesn’t. So the ex would rather blame OP than take a hard look at himself and his behavior.

No doubt the daughter has witnessed how the ex has behaved over the years toward OP, and that would not endear him to their daughter. Hang in there, OP! If your ex isn’t going to help pay for college, tell him to f—- off now. [/quote]
