My ex has been living abroad for the past 8 years and shown little or no interest in our 13 yo DD in all that time. Save the occasional birthday card, (sent by his secretary I suspect.) He's recently moved back to London and all of a sudden wants to be a part of her life. I've had emails asking me to call him to arrange it.
DD is unsure - bless her, but I suspect it's loyalty to me. I've talked long and hard with her and told her it wouldn't hurt me at all if she wanted to see her dad. So she can if she wants to. Now it takes me 20 min's to get her to decide what cereal she wants, how can I ask her to make this type of decision?
The thing is, I don't know if I should agree to it nice and early to avoid him getting solicitors etc. Because he pissed off so long ago, and we had such a clean break I didn't think much about him and what I would do when this day came around. Another thing is, he's loaded and would want to lavish her with pink Limousines, Caribbean holidays, Disneyland etc. I know him, but he is her dad, so how can I deny her? I can't right? What's you lot think?
