Help! My daughter is possessed by my exwife!
In 1998, my exwife, and I divorced, and she promptly relocated to Germany. I was so relieved that she was gone, but the court awarded her temporary full custody of our 3 year old daughter prior to her departure. After 5 years of limited parenting time, due to the great distance, she, (for lack of a better word) dumped our daughter (then 9 y/o) on my doorstep. I am so grateful, and happy to have my daughter back in my life! However, she is now 11 years old, and acts just like her mom, who I find impossible to get along with. I know that it is not my daughter's fault, and that it is my personal issues with her mother that has begun to interfere with our relationship. I have tried to explain this to her, but she is a very sensitive child, and takes everything so hard. My question is this; How can I look past her inherited personality traits, and be the best father like I had planned to be?
