Thanks everyone.
But it seems we have a new problem... my SD has told her birth father she wants to move in with him(!)
I've just heard about it but my wife is away at a conference, so she doesn't know yet. This is absolutely going to break her heart. I have no idea how I'm going to comfort her, especially with her so far away.
This all apparently came to a head after her therapy last night, when she said she was thinking about running away. She first said during the session that she was thinking of going to her Dad's, and then admitted that would be a mistake because of his controlling and abusive behaviour. In the past year she's only seen or spoken to her father a handful of times because she says he makes her feel bad.
I can't help but feel like she's playing some kind of game -- go live at Dad's for the summer, teach Mom and SF a lesson about who's boss, and then come back home like nothing happened. But I guess it will come down to how comfortable (or uncomfortable) she gets at her father's.
My poor wife. She's loves her kids so much and has sacrificed so much for them (my SS already lives with his father full time... a whole other sad story). This is going to crush her.
