First week of living on my own post divorce and it’s miserable. DD sticking up for dad and she told him I was speaking about him to my mum which caused another huge argument. I’ve now banned ex from coming inside the house.

Honestly feel like walking away from all my kids! They won’t listen to me messing about my life is horrible 😩

Please tell me it gets better?

My dc have never heard me say a single negative thing about their dad. Not directly or in a conversation with anyone else.

You need to make sure they don’t. Whatever happened between you and him, is just that, and they don’t need to know about it. Ever.

Your children should not hear you speaking about their father negatively. Aside from extraordinary circumstances, they need to be allowed to keep a positive connection with both parents.

it’s hard, but you have to keep your relationship drama away from your children as much as possible. They don’t need to hear about your arguments, the legalities, your new friendships, and definitely about any dating. They have their own issues to deal with right now.

What was the situation where she heard you talking shit about her dad? She didn't "stick up for him" out of the blue
Someone must have been criticising him in front of her/earshot.
