Now for the other side of the coin....

My ex has recently moved his gf and her 2 kids into his house, I am happy for him and think this is a good move all around. Except for the fact that my BD is suffering because no one has taken into account how much this affects her, she is only 8 and now is sharing her home and her Dad. And her Dad expects her to share all her toys with the 7 yd old boy that's moved in. I had a good long talk with my ex about the situation and I thought it went very well and he admitted that BD might be feeling a little displaced and needs some reassurance from him. My BD has said a few things to me that I related back to her Dad:
1. the worst mistake Dad made was letting that boy move in
2. he always takes the boys side whenever we have an argument
3. she wants to spend as much time as possible with me and 'absorb' all the fun we have to carry her through at her Dad's....her words, not mine
4. all she does at Dads is watch TV and they make her play with the boy all the time even when she doesn't want to

I could go on...I don't know what to do, my heart aches for my BD especially when its her weekends at her Dads place....I've already talked with him and I don't want to push it too far but he will end up losing her in the future if he doesn't fix this now!
