[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110188, member: 1550"] I didn't say that you had the boyfriend around too much or that you shouldn't have one. Just, from my own experience, the kids even KNOWING about a boyfriend screwed them up, and these kids were "normal" kids before the divorce. I think that may have a lot to do with why your daughter is mad at you, plus the fact that, no matter what reason, you "broke up the home." I've walked in your shoes. The kids did not see things the way I did. I think it's a good idea to make boyfriend scarce. Work, well, can't do much about that. There were times I was sorry I divorced my ex. I wondered if it would have been better to have waited until the kids were eighteen. I was a total wreck when divorced because it seemed like the kids had turned on me and their behavior changed, and I was under a ton of stress. Even twelve years later and remarried, I look back and am not sure I did the right thing. Sure, I deserved to be happy, but I wasn't happy when my kids were unhappy and I had so much pressure. I do feel for ya from first hand experience. Are your Sox the Red Sox? Mine are the White Sox [/QUOTE]
