hiya,
im a step-dad of my 5 year old daughter since more than 2 years and we have great relationship. She calls me 'Dad', and we never had any issues with the her biological father.
Recently, when her father came to drop at the door step, he started yelling to my wife about cutting her hair short. After arguing with me wife(his ex-wife) he said he will do something about how Im treating his daughter. This thing came out from now where!
Now i don’t care what he wants to complain about but I dont want to go away from my step-daughter.
What can i do to proof that I have great relationship with my step-daughter and Im treating her like my own?
Btw, he has complains about domestic violence, police complaint and also he got anger issues.
thanks
Hi,
To be honest, I wouldn't worry about it - I know it's upsetting, but he has no evidence of abuse (because there isn't any). If he continues, then I would suggest that your wife considers using a contact centre to hand over your step daughter so that there is no contact between him and you (and your wife), and there is also and independant witness if he kicks off. Potentially, if he's being abusive on the doorstep (which is unacceptable behaviour), then your could call the police and have him arrested for breach of the peace.
