[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] She talks about everyone and everything being more important than dad as the reason to not have visits.[/quote] For a teenager in senior year of high school? Sports, social events, and school activities do take precedence over spending time with family, for most teenagers. At least, that is completely developmentally normal. Parents who don't realize this and refuse to change their lifestyle if they live far from their 17 year olds are setting themselves up to alienate their teen. This was not OP's doing; it was dad's refusal to be flexible and work with his teen. Fair enough - that was Dad's decision, and he has to live with the consequences of not putting his kid's perfectly normal developmental needs first.[/quote]
