[quote=Anonymous]I think first you need to make sure you express to your daughter that the divorce is not his fault and he is a good guy who loves her.  That is 100% on you, and unacceptable for you to put your emotions on her.

That said, I do think that living in Europe would be a great experience for her, especially with a job (which allows her to meet people and not just sulk around th house all day).

I would tell her she has to go - but that she needs to have a heart to heart with dad and figure out what works for everyone.  Maybe she could do a semester abroad during high school to get that experience, but be able to do half a year in the US and keep her friends.  Maybe he can go for 4-6 weeks instead of 8 weeks next summer.  Maybe she can balance holidays in a different way. Maybe a friend could come with her for some visits.  Perhaps her father could spend all his vacation time in the US, with her.

I think there are lots of options, and you all should be able to work out something that is reasonable.  [/quote]
