My husband is not vibing with his 12 year old daughter
So here's the deal; my husband finds out about 5 years ago that he has a daughter. She is 12 years old. We have an 11 year old daughter together and a 15 year old daughter. It was rough in the beginning but all of the girls and myself have a pretty good relationship but dad and 12 year old are not clicking the way they should. He loves her very much and tells her pretty often but he is not the social butterfly... just does not like to do to many activities with the girls, so they are not bonding as much as they should be...
I basically have to to do planning for everything that we do, or the kids are staying indoors... so the issue at hand now is, she told him that she misses her "other" father... the one that raised her before my husband came into the picture... keep in mind that she got in trouble recently and now all of this is coming out.
He is very hurt because he doesn't know if she said this because she really means it or if it is just a direct response to getting in trouble.
She has never said it before... at least not to me of him but I have wondered from time to time if she misses her old life.
Direction anyone?
