(29,077 posts)Dad mentioned "mom" and "stepmom." That changes the dynamics a bit if you ask me. Seems possible dad is having an Alex Baldwin non-custodial dad moment. He's projecting a lot of suppressed anger at the daughter. How fair is that? My dad would have told me how hurt he was and I would have felt lower than a dog for criticizing him online. I probably would have apologized on Facebook. I think if the dad had honestly dealt with issues surrounding the divorce -- and don't tell me there aren't ones the kid had to process and probably overcome largely without the help of her parents. It isn't fair to blame either for the outburst, but it is important maybe to figure out why it might have happened.
I did not experience divorce as a child. And I was a mess. I can't even imagine how my friends who had to coped with the family turmoil. Just sayin'.
