BonnieK, my second ex had a beautiful daughter only about 8 years younger than me. He was 22 years my senior. She was spoiled rotten, lived in Newport Beach with a wealthy man and she was daddys girl. She came to our home to visit and decided she wanted all daddys attention and wanted only he and she to go out to dinner. I said to him, "go and keep on going pal. I am your family now, your wife and don't take second place to anyone." He told his daughter that either we all go or she can eat alone. I told her that I would go grocery shopping and be gone a couple of hours so she could spend private time with her dad. She and I became okay friends, but I believe they'll treat you the way you allow them to treat you, the husband and the kids....
