      I made it 1 minute in and the Dad is crazy. His step daughter attending a out of country trip with his ex for their daughters bday is crazy. It would only make sense if the daughter wanted her there and the dad paid for here.

      Same he's being weird about bringing his step daughter everywhere. I get that he sees her as his daughter but he's not exhibiting healthy boundaries.

    If Sara and Mary already said they were cool not going then Story Alex is being the AH and he deserves to be left behind cause he's just going to ruin the trip if he goes. He's made that pretty clear

    Leave dad and take step sisterâ€Ķ that way dad isn’t prioritizing step daughter and daughter has a friend to share the experience with.

      It's a miracle when step siblings can be allies/friends. Not impossible, mind you, but still a miracle. It's horrible when the adults, bio parents/step parents/ adult siblings/grandparents make it more difficult.

    Yeah obviously, Alex is the problem here. I feel badly for Rose. OP can't really win here either. It's Alex that's creating all this. Mary doesn't even want to go, but her stepdad is forcing it on her. He sounds like a nightmare.

    4:05 “I don’t want rose to think he doesn’t care enough to come at all” he doesn’t. He doesn’t care enough. He wouldn’t be arguing about this if he did care. He would say you are lucky he is in Rose’s life at all if he cared.

      Also, Rose probably ALREADY knows. She is almost 13. She probably knows already just based on the behavior he has exhibited.

      I wonder if Mary says “dad I don’t want to go” if he will CHOOSE to stay home with her.

    This is classic abuser behavior mixed with this weird dynamic that comes into play for certain men that only get with women for what they can benefit from them.
    He was with OP abusing her and cheating on her until she couldn’t take it anymore and left him. Her leaving him shouldn’t have stopped him from continuing to be in his daughter’s life. But OP says that it was later on that her ex decided to try to get back in his daughter‘s lifeâ€Ķinteresting. He paid attention to his daughter until another woman came in the picture who had her own daughter. He now gives that stepdaughter all of the attention that his own biological daughter should be getting as a way of punishment to OP and his biological daughter. He wants to rub it in their faces like a “you left me and now I have replacements for both of you so I’m going to show you the treatment that you’re missing because you left me”. I wouldn’t be surprised if when OP’s daughter brings it up to him he would find a way to gaslight her and blame OP for the situation. Also, since some men only deal with women for what they can benefit from them, if they no longer have access to that woman, then they no longer care as much about the child. OP‘s ex has a new woman in his life that he has access to so he cares about her child more than his own. It’s a selfish/ self-centered way of thinking. If he can’t get anything out of it, he doesn’t see the reason to care.
    The one-upping his wife’s ex-husband also tracks. “Your wife is better off with me. Look at what I do for your daughterâ€Ķmeanwhile I wouldn’t even do the same for my biological daughter” ðŸĨī

      @@nainzika yeah I get that, and it's very well intentioned from the mother and daughter. And it would have been so nice if he could be a half decent co parent. The problem is the ex, who with his next few moves shows how not good he really is. I used to invite my ex to outings that I planned for our kids, but he always used it as his opportunity to do and go about things in the whole wrong way.. so I was just saying I'd not have bothered with the invitation due to my own experiences of how exes can be.

    The father is trash , don't involve him, if he wanted to have a good relationship with his daughter he would . You can just take a walk and talk with the kid , he's the worst.

    This whole "issue of concern" about the step daughter is disgusting. This is why single dad's have such a hard time being single dad's. My ex (single dad of 2) couldn't even sleep next to his 10yr old daughter when she was having emotional issues and bad dreams out of fear of it being misconstrued. He let her sleep in his bed and he slept on the couch. His air conditioner had gone out that day and he had put a window unit in the bedrooms until the air could be fixed on Monday.... so he didn't just sleep on the couch, he slept on the couch in the middle of a Midwest summer...90° with 90% humidity in the Middle of the night.....all because of whack jobs who automatically assume the worst of a man.

      Ok well If the “good guys” would hold their bad guy counterparts accountable for their actions and the statistics change for men being inappropriate with children then our feelings about it will also.

      @vice8063 Are you ok? The good guys are out there busy being good guys, good dad's, good single dad's, good husbands, and hard workers. They don't have time to sit down with Karen's spreadsheet and decide how to hold some stranger accountable nor is it their responsibility...They're at soccer, ballet, football, teachers conferences, watching movies, scaring monsters.... So here's an...I don't know..... LOGICAL idea .....how about the GIRLFRIENDS, WIVES, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND JUDGES hold the bad apples accountable instead of sweeping it under the rug and implying the good ones are guilty just for being a man.... There's an "idea". 🙄ðŸĪĶ🏞‍♀ïļ
