Reunion...6 months later she moves in
My B-daughter lost her A-mom at 9. We met a few months before her 19th B-day and within 6 months time, she is now living with my family. She and her A-dad have a very strained relationship, and he is perfectly happy to go his own way and let me "fix" all the things about my daughter that he has "broken" over the past 10 years. He claims that he is drained and exhausted from dealing with her for all these years alone and admitted that he has no problem letting me take all the responsibilty for helping her to become a self-sufficient adult. I feel like he is dumping his problems on me, but she has really come around since being with my family, and I feel in my heart that if I don't help this child, no one else will. Anyone else out there with even a remotely similar situation? Some days I feel like I must be the only one.
