To be really annoyed at Ex H

We have been split up over ten years and have weathered many a storm since then. However in general things are fine and our 2 DC (14 and 11) see us getting on.

He has recently started a new relationship after splitting up of his lovely GF of 7 years who the DCs really liked . I think there was an overlap. I don't have any interest in his business unless it affects the DCs and this time it has.

He had the new GF to stay at his very early on in the relationship. My DS told me. He is 11 and a bit easier to win over. My DD is more savvy and has says she doesn't like the new GF and won't bother getting to know her as 'there will be another one along soon anyway'

She messaged me last night saying they had gone over to to GF's house, and then it was sprung on them quite late on that they were staying there (unplanned) z she was on a blow up bed in the living room having to sleep in her clothes and DS on the sofa.

They are meant to be staying there for 4 more nights but she is begging me to let her come home early.

I didn't agree to it last night but said I would talk to him this morning. I will talk to him but I think it's up to him to sort this out. I'm so annoyed with him. DD has been through a really hard 6 months mental health wise and I have worked really hard to make things as stable as possible for her.

He gets angry at me if I ever question his parenting. He also asks them why they told me X y and z if I ever bring some thing up that they have come to me about. He is also very quick to lay into me. I have suggested mediation as things seem to have deteriorated recently. He had said no.

On the subject of my DD WWYD? Am I overreacting?

As a 14 year old I wouldn’t have felt comfortable speaking to my dad about this. I was in a similar situation with him, I had to be seen and not heard at his girlfriends so I hated going, I would sit in near silence on the sofa for the full day or be expected to play out for hours on end - at 13 in an area 50miles from home so I didn’t know the area or another person. My mum mentioned a couple of times to him that I was uncomfortable and because I was put on the spot when he asked I would say I was fine. After a couple of years my aunt stepped in and I was so grateful, please don’t just leave it to your daughter like others are suggesting.

I think she will need your support in expressing her unhappiness with this sort of situation.

She is of an age to decide what sort of contact she wants with him and how.much,
