[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I am confused by the responses in this thread.

1) Mom cheated and that lead to a divorce.
2) Dad, OP, has refused to bad mouth Mom to kids
3) Dad is paying child support for Mom, even though she was the one who had an affair
4) Dad has daughter in therapy
5) Dad is willing to not go the divorce route to save Mom, who had an affair, $550 a month in additional medical costs

It sounds to me like Dad is doing everything he can to help his daughter and is not being a dick to his Ex. Dad is encouraging his daughters to maintain a relationship with their Mom, even though she cheated on him. Dad is home, providing for his kids, providing for his Ex.

Dad voices that he might want to have an adult life at some point in time and wonders how to do that if the eldest daughter continues to refuse to go to Mom's house. He is not doing that now but thinking about it in the future.

As I read it, Dad has stepped up to the plate, done what he should do for his kids, and is doing more for his Ex then he really needs to.

It's DCUM.  I like to play a game - how quickly will posters turn on OP?  It happens faster with male posters but happens with women, too.[/quote]
