[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 99432, member: 3626"] I'm going on the side of selfishness here. She's not going to get easier, she's going to get harder. She is also going to affect the other kids in the house tremendously and that has to be factored in. So, if you think she will be safe, taken care of to at least a semi-reasonable extent, will not be allowed to totally run wild, I vote for daddy dearest. Maybe a bigger question is what does your wife want? Will she be able to accept that for now having her daughter live with her ex is truly a good solution? It is hard of us moms to give our kids up even temporarily, even for the best of reasons. To make things easier in the household is not a good reason to our mommy hearts. It screams of failure. Now comes the caveat. What are you going to do when he has had enough and kicks her out? The odds of that happening are probably pretty good. Are you prepared to pick up the pieces because that will be a very shattered little girl when it occurs. She will come back even angrier, more defiant and probably a lot wiser about how to damage all of you. You, sir, sound like an awesome man. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Congrats on finding your soulmate. May you have many years together. [/QUOTE]
