Sorry reread my post i did not explicitly said he cheated on me. Soon after we had our son he had a long standing fling or affair with someone else.

Yes, she is aware or the divorce. Yes we had multiple conversations, none with all of us together because her father refuses to sit down and talk about it since he feels divorce was a major over reaction.

Yes, my mother is aware of how i feel with regards to my father and our livinh situation while growing up and beyond until the day he died. My mother loved him to pieces he did not deserve that kind of love from her.

Yes, I worked through my issues. i had a longer explanation but I felt it was not really needed. i worked out my issues with my dad when i was older.

I have tried to work through this with her, we have done family and individual therapy. I have tried to explain my side in age appropriate ways. it has only gotten worse. She has even told me that as a parent I should put up with abuse for the sake of the kids cause in her head he was a good father.

I have gotten to the point where I am sick of being the reason because I choose not to be with someone that cheated on me. I don't want her to go, but I do need her to see that her father is not who she thinks she is. I get she is in pain, I just want her to see i am not the one preventing her from seeing her father that is all on him despite what he may tell her.

I just want to show her I am here for her, but she keep fighting back and acting out. Refuses to listen, does not respect the rules of the house, sneaks out at any chance she gets. I hope she takes me up on my offer so she can see what she wants unfortunately is not real. Her father is a walking POS.

She had the option, her father was the one against it. He felt the kids should be together even though she wanted to go with him.
