My ex-husband\u2019s fianc\u00e9e recently moved into his two-bedroom house with her 14-year-old son. I told my ex I wasn\u2019t comfortable with a teenage boy sharing a room with my 12-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
A few days later, I went to pick up my daughter and found her crying.<\/p>\n
Her closet was empty.<\/p>\n
Nadine had moved all of her things out of the bedroom and told her she would now be sleeping on the living room couch.<\/p>\n
I was furious and immediately called my ex. He calmly explained that Nadine wanted \u201cmaximum distance\u201d between the kids \u2014 exactly what I had asked for.<\/p>\n
I asked why her son couldn\u2019t sleep on the couch instead.<\/p>\n
His response? Since I was the one who \u201cmade a fuss,\u201d it made more sense for my daughter to move.<\/p>\n
Then he told me not to interfere because it was no longer my house.<\/p>\n
I understand not wanting the kids to share a room. But pushing my daughter out of her own bedroom and onto a couch feels cruel and unfair.<\/p>\n
Now I can\u2019t stop wondering if I overreacted\u2026 or if my daughter is the one paying the price for adult decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
