[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you haven't given any reasons as to why your wife is angry with you. Unless you blindsided her and moved your daughter in without her approval.

If my DH moved a family member into our home with consulting me you bet I'd be mad.  Have you tried counseling with your wife to resolve the issues? A lot cheaper, and [b]when you daughter
graduates she can go to college which will solve your problem[/b].  Your wife isn't angry for no reason, obviously she's said something....[/quote]

My thought too that this problem will resolve itself in a year when DD moves out.  Surely you guys can come up with a tolerable arrangement for one year.[/quote]

You think a 17 yo with recent suicidal ideation and intermittent estrangement from *both* parents is waltzing off to UPenn next year? Folks she’s on Dad’s couch indefinitely. Second wife knows this and is understandably in full on wtf mode. I won’t even wade into how OP’s daughter got there; the question is about OP’s wife’s reaction. And it’s legit. You think OP sold his situation as a “maybe DD will live with us one day” scenario to this lady? Now she’s got a fragile teen in the house 24/7. Say what you will, but this lady didn’t sign up for that. [/quote]

Prob not U Penn but maybe community College and they get her an apartment.  [/quote]

I actually have a friend who was similar to OPs daughter.  Borderline negligent and mentally abusive mom. Dad had moved states after divorce and wasn't involved much.  Friend got caught up in drugs and attempted suicide.  Mom refused to take her home and dad got custody.  Dad went between overly involved and annoyed by having her as a responsibility.  Friend counted down the days until she went off to college. Got into decent college and. pretty much never looked back.  The escape of college was probably the only thing that kept her going.
