[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd talk to your DD and her boyfriend, together.  Acknowledge that you have no control, and that this is just one of the unfortunate outcomes of divorce.  But tell them what you expect from them, and what you would like, and why.[/quote]

Good idea.

[b]DD already knows if she gets pregnant, she WILL have an abortion.[/b] I think the boy’s family is anti-abortion, so that would be interesting. It isn’t like they would get a say in anything.[/quote]

I'm as pro-choice as they come, and this is a truly horrifying statement. You can encourage and educate her on this all you want, but it is her body and her choice at the end of the day. Coercing her (towards either decision) is morally bankrupt. [/quote]

No it isn’t. She is 15. She will do what I say. I am not raising another child.[/quote]

You've got serious control issues. No wonder you're divorced. Ride your daughter too hard, she might go to the courts and ask to move in with her father. I wouldn't blame her.[/quote]

What the hell? I AM her father. Why would you assume I was a mother? What is WRONG with you?[/quote]

I'm not the pp, but I've never known a man to use "anyhoo" and primary custody tends to go to moms, so it's not outrageous to assume. It's even worse if you are a man threatening to force your child to have an abortion. The level of control you are trying to exert over your daughter will harm her in relationships.[/quote]

Anyhoo was a typo.

And the ex doesn’t have primary custody. It’s 50/50 and I have primary custody of the older child at the older child’s request.[/quote]
