It sounds to me like he is trying to "buy" his daughter's affection and that's really sad. She will realize when she's older that money doesn't buy everything and that her mother only wanted the best for her by trying to keep her "down to earth" and respectful of all people regardless of the financial situation. Shel seems to have done her best and it sounds like ex-hubby is jealous of the relationship between Shel and daughter and he wants to "rock the boat". Just my personal opinion.
I think Shel is being totally wonderfukl about this whole situation and making the best of it. Hopefully, her daughter will one day recognize what Shel has gone through mentally and emotionally. Sending hugs to you Shel!!
Thanks..he has always bought her fancy stuff since we split up 10 years ago. He got her a $300 dollar cell phone when she was 8 and then it just snowballed from there. Maybe that's why she decided to move with him to AZ because she knows that he and his family will spoil her rotten there. Already, one of his sisters posted on her FB that she will buy her a limited edition of facial stuff as soon as she arrives in AZ. Whatever...
Before Christmas, my ex was giving me hell because I refused to get my daughter an iPhone for Christmas. :roll: I'll bet you she will get one as soon as she arrives in AZ because she told me she will get a new phone and will give me her new phone number.
Funny thing is..my ex's fiancee used to page me complaining how disrespectful my daughter is to her and to her kids. Well, my daughter gets spoiled like that, she will expect everything her way. I hope my daughter gives her hell in Phx.
to everyone for the support. She is leaving this Wed and I just want to get it over with..so I can move on. My emotions are just totally all over the place. Today, I am in an ok mood..yesterday, I was feeling angry and bitter. Who knows what tmw will bring. Ugh...
Thank god for my hubby, son, my brother,my mom, my dad and stepmom, my job, and my friends to help me get thru this.
