Me: 25
Girlfriend: 37
Daughters: 19, 16 and 9
Background: First two are from previous marriage.
I'd like to think of myself as someone who is good with kids. But I don't know how to deal with the youngest. Her father had visitation with her every other weekend. But he would never show to pick her up, or if he did, it only be for a few hours. Those times when he would take her for more than half the time he should have, he would just sit her in front of a TV while he got drunk and often had a different lady friend over. He didn't even get her anything for Christmas or her birthday last year. All the while she would tell us how she hates us, loves her dad, would break the property of others, is at least two years behind in school, etc. He is a former drug addict who cheated on their mother and used to beat them all.
A few months back, the older two came out saying he molested them years ago. The youngest knows nothing of the accusations. So now the visitations are two hours and supervised every other weekend.
Is this fairly common Stockholm syndrome or what?
