Re: X-husband Dilemma
About what? OP wrote:
The ex was a jerk (to put it lightly) in the past…but why does the current husband have a problem with the daughter being picked up from home RIGHT NOW? As far as we know, the ex is not abusing the wife right now, we don’t know if he’s STILL an alcholic or has shown up at the house under the influence, and there is no mention that the ex has in any way abused the daughter.
The ex abandoned the wife/child in the past. The current husband married under the assumption that the ex is out of the picture permanently. I guess he somehow really convinced himself that the ex will NEVER come back for his daughter. And now 8+ years later, the biological father wants to be involved, the 2nd husband says he won’t be able to handle it if the biological father wants to see the daughter on her birthday, attend her graduation/wedding etc. If not for this ego, then why not?
Either way…I do agree with you that there is no right or wrong answer here. We can only go by the limited information that’s posted. We will just have to agree to disagree on the whole dead beat dad issue.
