As long as free counseling is being offered, here is my problem:
My 18 year old daughter will be graduating from HS Sunday. She has stayed 1 night at my house in the last 2 1/2 years. She prefers her mothers house w/no rules.
I spoke to my ex in Dec. about her open house, told her i would help out with it.....whatever they wanted to do, just let me know.......spoke with her again in March, same thing....I paid 1/2 for invites, announce., cap & gown etc.
Well, come to find out they are having an open house with out me or anyone from my family......I spoke to my daughter, she didnt have anything to say....Spoke to my ex, told me if I wanted to invite my family I needed to pay her $1500 for my half.......Of course I had no say in "my half" just fork out the cash........this is all 2 weeks before the open house........I talked to my daughter about having a family open house at our house......my daughter said she didnt want one......that really hurt........tears me up....then she told me her and her mom made poster boards of photos of her growing up, she told me they dont have a single photo of me in it........that really hurt.......
You can only imagine the words I would like to use here to describe my ex........*$%&*#@*(&*%$ yep all those!!
My daughter has told me and DW to come to the open house.......
My question is: Should I go???.......I will be honest I am thinking about skipping it......The posters would crush me, I dont get along real well with my ex family....we wouldnt argue or anthing like that.....we just dont care for each other.........
MY DD didnt even ask for photos from all the Disney trips we have been on together......
BTW,
She is leaving for Phoenix AZ in 2 weeks to live with her grandparents and go to a Comm. college there....I just bought her a laptop to take to school.......
Thanks in advance......
UJ is really hurting over this one........
