[quote=Anonymous]The only thing that matters here is what is best for your daughter. Having a big drama on her graduation day is not best for her. Severing her relationship with her dad is not best for her. Please encourage your daughter to tolerate her father’s wife. Please try not to fuel this drama. Please try to make this all as ok for her as it can be by telling her you’re really totally fine with stepmom being there, and then fake it. The fathers wife being “fake” does not sound like it warrants escorting her from the graduation (will security even do that anyway?). She’s not been abusive or unkind to your daughter. Please, as someone who was once like your daughter in this situation-please try to encourage the relationship with her dad. You have more power in this situation than you know. Your daughter is suffering most of all, even if it’s not apparent. http://therumpus.net/2010/08/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-47-the-reckoning/ [/quote]
