He is, why wouldn’t he? She is his child.
My daughter doesn’t want to sleep over at my ex’s house at this point of the year. This has been happening for a couple weeks. I tell her to go every week, but she refuses to go. He could come and get her, but he doesn’t care to. There were periods where my daughter wanted to stay at my ex’s house for weeks, within the last few months, instead of mine, and I never fought him, and respected her decision. He just uses this as a way to attack. She still sees him a lot, calls him, sleepovers occasionally, but not consistently. She’s not cutting him out, by not sleeping there half the time.[/quote]

Why should he?   Your child is rejecting her father.  If she’s grown enough to make the decision to cut out contact, she’s old enough to support herself and pay for college.  If she’s grown refuses, there are consequences.  You are letting a child make decisions that are parent decisions that she should not be allowed to.  Yes, she is cutting him out.  A text or call is not the same.  [/quote]

What a despicable thing to do. Selfish people like you parent selfishly. Then you wonder why your adult kids want nothing to do with you.[/quote]
