I have a teenage daughter who doesn't hasn't lived with me in a few months. It has to do with a complict between her grandma and me which she has taken the side of grandma because she really doesn't understand adult situations. I have tried to mend my relationship with her and have to some extent but have progressed no further. She does express and interest in me finding a husband and all and I think she would live with me then.
I have to tell guys that I have a child that doesn't live with me and they oftern have questions. How can I answer the questions and indicate to them that she will probably live with me when I remarry without sounding like I am pushing marriage on someone I just met.

My daughter and I lived with my mom and I moved out awhile ago to have a little say in how I run my own life. My daughter decided to stay behind. I haven't been in a real relationship since she was born and feel that I have a right to since she is older and pulling away on her own and developing relations with friends her own age.

ok, first find the guy. second explain and be honest, third leave it up to them. if he's ok with it then you answer is he's the one. if not they will bail. as for your kid, find a neutral ground and find a way to explain but wait till she is older and more patient and have more adult experiences.

I don't want to seem harsh but your real problem is that your own child is not living with you. You are her parent, why would you allow her to move in with anyone else? Especially someone you are at odds with. Move her back into your home today and work on your problems with her from there. As far as explaining yourself to a prospective partner, there really is no need. If asked simply say, yes I have a daughter and leave it at that. I'm not sure that dating is such a good idea at this point.

my heart goes out to you! teenagers are so well lets just say they are complicated- anyway, always be open and honest in your relationship with whomever you are with! i really hope you mend the conflict with the grandmother and your daughter. i don't see you having a decent relationship with any man until you mend your home life with your family! good luck

I think just like you said it, straight out, is the only way to go.

Either it'll scare them off or it won't. Either way, better they decide now than later.

it might be time to cut that spoiled brat loose - she is in no position to make decisions for you regarding your marital status. I'd also tell grandma to butt out-
