Not sure what on earth to do here.
DD (14) came home fuming yesterday after the weekly trip to see grandma with her dad (my ex husband) and for the first time in years hugged me very tightly.
She then went into her room and voice recorded a 30 minute message detailing all the horrific things my ex mother in law said about me. Dds summary at the end was "basically mummy, she just set out to describe you as a psychopath.
For ref, highly abusive 14 year long marriage to her son who was a serial adulterer, violent and incredibly sexist. He was largely absent, an artist, a social butterfly and a horrendous flirt. Neither husband nor father material. I've raised my two children virtually alone with serious health issues.
It horrifies me to know that my young precious daughter has been brainwashed with the intention of harming her relationship with me, her mother. The one who stuck around to pick up the pieces when her father swanned off with a young woman.
I'm fuming, crying and trying hard to stop myself from driving around there and basically, saying how dare you? Followed by a jug of water over her head which is stupid and I'll never do it. But though I know speaking to her in a steely cold voice and giving her a stern warning would be right, I know I'll be tempted to contest all the lies she's filled my daughters head with.
What to do? Thank you
