[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. That's hard to hear.

What is the current custody/support arrangement? I would want to make sure that he's not encouraging embarrassment so that she will want to move.

Also, it's time to talk to your child about the situation. You have 2 bedrooms, so she has some space of her own (I'm assuming there are only 2 of you). I would also seek out some people who are in a situation similar to yours so that she can see she's not the only one. [/quote]

The original agreement and current legal one is she lives with me full time and spends every other weekend with him. However, we agreed that she would go to middle school in his neighborhood so I drop her off at his house in the morning before I go to work and pick her up when I get off and lately she's been going to his house every weekend. I guess I'm partly to blame for this since I allowed her to go middle school in her dad's neighborhood.

I've explained it to her before, but she doesn't get it. She compares me to her dad and stepmom and I've explained that they have more because it's two working adults and it's only me so I can't afford everything they do. She then compared me to her friend's married parents. I can't win with this girl![/quote]
