digger Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 My first of 2 posts today---if u remember me, my marriage ended after 21 yrs to the love of my life--her choice. Since May my daughter (16) has refused to call or talk to me in any form. Ive called she wont answer etc. My daughters 17th birthday is 2 weeks away and ive written my now ex a letter saying we'd (me and son by first wife) really like to take her to dinner on or before her birthday. seeing as how Im still clinging to hope with my now ex, (NC has now reached week 6) do I in a nice way also invite the ex to go along with us (id really like her to) or do i just let it alone and invite my daughter only thru the letter? Whats the right thing to do?
Scott S Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I would say to send a nice birthday card, & perhaps an appropriate gift. Given your present circumstances, I would not expect much if I were you.
ready2moveon26 Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Do you know why your daughter won't talk to you? Is is because she sides with your ex? I'd say send her a card, she is old enough to make her own decisions. If I were you, I'd send the card and her a personal letter. Maybe type the envelope and send it from a town that you don't live in, that way, your ex won't get it and get rid of it before she does. All you can do is try...Good luck.
Author digger Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 exactly--the 2 have always been inseparable ive begged and begged to talk now ive quit trying--and because of that i'll look like the bad guy again
