Manipulation of my poor daughter!

Errrr!!! I am so SO furious at him. Not sure why i expect more ... should know better by now.
He is still getting mad at dd (age 6) for "not calling him" if a day or 2 goes by, which is SO rare, & he blames her, says stuff like "I am not taking her calls, you guys go live your little perfect life, she obvioulsy doesnt need ME

Oh rebecca everytime I read what this donkey does to your beautiful little one I just want to drive down and kick the crap out of him. Doesn't he get it?? Doesn't he get that he is chipping away at her little by little? Doesn't he get that he's damaging her?
What a creep.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this.
Hugs.
I was *just* laying in bed last night thinking "I wonder how Rebecca and Averey are doing?"

Just wanted to tell you that Rosie says the SAME thing about loving me more and "NO WAY am I telling that to Dad. He'd get REALLY mad!!!!!"
I don't think these men will EVER understand how their relationships with their daughters are shaping their entire lives, no matter how many times a trained professional tells them.
The trained professionals keep telling me to "just keep doing what you're doing", so I am!
I'm sorry for his issues and for Averey! *hug*
~calla~ mom to rosie and gracie
you know rebecca - while i was reading your post, i wsa thinking back to when my DS was younger and his father ignored him and played games. and one of the things that i told my DS back then was, that in the Bible (the old testament) it says 'honor your father and mother' and it doesn't say 'love your father and mother' and it was my opinion that there is a very good reason that it doesn't say 'love' because there are some times that we CAN'T love them and there are people who are just unlovable by us, for whatever reason. i think that its important that your dd doesn't feel guilty about what she feels - and for the record, i think you handled this beautifully
the only thing i would beware of is your dd developing these 'enabling' modes which she is already doing and which you are already trying to put an end to.
hang in there - you are doing a fantastic job!
You guys are so unbelieveable wonderfully supportive! If anything, at least I can jump on here & vent away!
That's probably a very good idea ;-)

hehehe ... cant WAIT to try that!
I sort of did the other day. He flips out "WHY???" when I forward my house calls to my cell. I never "did that in the past" according to him. UNBEKNOWNEST to him the reason i do it is when i rent out the house .... which i have NOT told him about.
