My partner has lost contact with both his daughters after the breakdown of his marriage with their mum.
Their marriage was struggling, they led separate lives, he was sleeping on his own. There was nothing but rows and conflicts which sometimes the girls got involved with sometimes they didn't. the girls were 17 and 22 at the time. We met and started talking, I know it's not ideal but we were both in similar positions. He eventually left the relationship/house and sofa surfed for a while, the house got sold, she took a massive chunk of the equity, he left with a lot less plus had to clear a lot of joint debts with his share.
The whole situation got out of hand with nastiness on all sides, he tried and tried to maintain a relationship with the girls but it got so toxic and his ex constantly posting nasty stuff on fb that he felt the best thing to do was walk away and let the dust settle. 8/9 months have passed and the lack of contact with his girls is breaking his heart. He has tried numerous times but either gets ignored or blocked. Stuff is still being posted on fb about how he has abandoned them when that really wasn't the case. He doesn't want to retaliate as obviously that would just stir the pot more. A few weeks ago I messaged one of his daughters to plead with her to try again with him, told him how all he ever wanted was to get their relationship back on track. I didn't get a reply which i guess came as no surprise. He knows he didn't always handle things as well as he should but I am at a loss with what to do now. He has been blocked on all levels, messenger, whatsapp, everything. Do I try again? Thanks for anyone that has got to the end of this and for any helpful advice x
It breaks my heart to see him so upset
