[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, it sounds like you need to get your head out of the "My poor angelic DH has done no wrong, he wants this, he wants that, his poor feeeeeelings" way of thinking about this. Of course you like your husband, but it seems like there's a lot more history here. You say they had a bad breakup, has he taken responsibility for his part in that?

Stop thinking about your DH and start thinking of your SD's best interests. Yes, it *might* be in her best interests to spend more time with her father, but she's not a prize to be won or a possession to be passed back and forth, especially if she doesn't want to have to move back and forth. Some kids really just hate that, especially as they become teenagers and want more control of their lives. She and her mom might be concerned that if they allow this week, there will be pressure for more. Try to see it from the other person's perspective, rather than just thinking about your darling man and his tender feelings.[/quote]

This pp is all sorts of deranged. She starts from a position that obviously OP's husband must be responsible for the breakup with the girl's mother and insinuates the mother is within her rights to use the daughter to punish her ex even as pp lectures pp that the girl is "not a prize to be won or a possession to be passed back and forth."

She's either projecting, a misandrist or a deeply disturbed individual with a fundamental character defect. In any case, OP, you can safely ignore this one. She has nothing valid to say.[/quote]
