[QUOTE="witzend, post: 134600, member: 99"] Is she in therapy? It seems like it might help her to deal with some of her anger issues. I have to say that it makes me uncomfortable that you call her father "her pedophile father". As much as you may believe this is so, he wasn't convicted of it, and she says it isn't so. If he's a lousy good for nothing, she'll figure it out quicker if you refrain from pointing it out to her. If you call him names or otherwise make it obvious that you disapprove of the visits, her behavior seems to be about what should be expected of her. That the other girls go to the gun range and shoot at pictures of him which they bring home and post on their doors can't be healthy for her, and that you allow it is actually more than a little disturbing. Whatever he is, he's her father and she loves him. That's her cross to bear. You can't make her feel small or guilty about it without ugly consequences. Have you sought therapy to deal with your anger over this issue? Anger is never the answer. A clear and level head usually is. [/QUOTE]
