Is it normal how i feel?

6 Comments

40 yrs ago I married a man with 2 daughters. Those daughters were kept separate from our lives. Never spoken of or visited NOTHING, except child support. Now 2 years ago his long lost daughter, at age 42, finally gets in touch with him, claiming she’s been trying to for years!!
The guilt he is/has been carrying all these years, I feel she is playing on hard core. 9 thousand minutes in a month they spend on the phone, he’s a trucker & she’s unemployed. She has claimed a brain tumor & sexual abuse from stepfather. He has changed so much, from loving caring husband to she takes priority. Any advice? I’m ready to pack up & run!!!!

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Children are children whether they are 2 or 42. Sounds like you were hella happy the kids weren't around.

      Why do you think I’m crazy?

    He knows how I feel. The guilt is taking preference, it doesn’t matter. He has always been a sucker for the underdog. And I feel she is totally manipulating him.

    You sound kind of selfish. You are angry at him over establishing a relationship with his daughter and that isn't cool. Whether her intentions are, isn't the issue. You have no right to interfere with this.

    I can imagine this situation being like walking through a minefield. Does he know how you feel? Does he know that he has changed? Would he be prepared to speak to a counsellor to talk through his emotions regarding the past?

    Are we to assume that because your description of his 'unemployed' daughter & the hard luck stories that you think she is money grabbing & emotionally manipulating him to do so?
