What do I do?

Question

Well my friend ( we aren't in a relationship) and his wife got a divorce two years ago. However, I never talked with him about what happend. Now he has custody of his two children and his step daughter. During this past summer he took the kids to practice and she was suppose to pick them up but she never showed up. He had left to go out of town and he called me and I pick them up. However, I spend time with his daughter because she is friends with my daughter. Lately she hasn't been herself. She has been saying mean things about her mom and I tell her that it's not nice but she say that she doesn't care. Last nighet she told me that she can't wait to see her mom because she haven't seen her in a long time. Should I tell her dad about what she is feeling or should I continue to go on? How do i tell him that he needs to find a mate because his daughter needs a mother? When she comes over she just hugs and kiss me the entire weekend. I find myself worrying about her.

Answer 1

I would tell him how his daughter is feeling..but as far as telling him to find a mate because his daughter needs a mom, don't go there. What is wrong with the love she is giving you?? We all need love, hugs and love from a child is the best keep it up you seem to be doing a great job with her..smiles. Don't turn you back on this child she needs you more then ever and what you do for her today, hugs and love could make all the difference in the world for her in the future..smiles. Keep up the Good Job!!!

Answer 2

Well, you don't tell the guy that "he needs to find a mate because his daughter needs a mother." But, yeah, you should take the father aside and tell him that his daughter's having a difficult time. It's great that you are there for her. She needs some attention from her dad. I think it's OK to approach him on it.

Answer 3

tell her dad.
