Title: Co-parenting is so difficult, any recommendations? Post by: BrokenFamily on June 17, 2025, 07:54:37 PM How do I explain to my 11 year old that her Mother sleeping around, jumping from man to man isn't normal or healthy behavior without insulting her Mom? She's been the perfect kid her whole life as I've had majority custody since the breakup but now she's gravitating towards Mom and pickup some terrible habits. Being disrespectful, acting out, throwing tantrums and exhibiting the same destructive behavior as her Mom.

My first thought is to ask whether your daughter has a trusted counselor who can provide her with positive and objective skills and tools - and insight - more than the dad vs mom contrast she may see between the homes.
Your daughter is also approaching the teen years, she's no longer a little girl anymore, soon she'll be developing into a young woman and she'll need some help - more than just yours - to guide her through the minefields of life. |
