    My daughter is 12 and she tells me everything. I don’t even have to ask. I know all the gossips and which crush she currently has. What 12 year old does that? I appreciate it, but it’s very unfamiliar to me.

      Mine does too which is hilarious because I’m the dad and my ex-wife is OoTL most times.

      Take it as an indication your daughter trusts you.

      FWIW I’ve been very clear with my kids and I only share relevant info with my ex so if a kid says it’s a secret I will make it a secret.

      I’ve heard enough shit in my time as a parent I really question other parents lol

    I remember being in my 20s thinking I could finally have rational adult conversations with her. Then finding out she would literally blow up our relationship then ever consider an alternative to her “facts”. She chose her church over her family when I was still in diapers and that heirachry will never change.

      I’ve lived this exact situation. It’s not an easy thing to process and I hope you’re doing well!

    I created a “no politics” rule in 2020 that saved us from a terrible falling-out. We’d argued about politics, religion, whatever other stupid shit for years.
