i'm almost 17. biological father left when i was 2 then came back then left less than a yr to go stay with his 2 kids and wife. i'm the 1st child so he cheated on my mom. when i was 8 he bring me n my little sister out once in a while. we get along. but i won't forgive him for what he did. we're not that close.

now the girl who have the same mother as me is almost 14 and went to go live with the guy who left us. why would a girl want to live with a man who left us for a family he created by cheated on our mother????
our mother don't abuse her or w/e. she loves us. is it because he has more money and buys her and lets her do w/e?

Maybe she wants to have a connection... a father/daughter relationship.. Maybe she's reaching out to form a bond with her dad.. It could be many things.. Maybe she thinks she can manipulate him into things that she cant get away with with your mother.. Maybe she wants to play them against each other.. Maybe she wants a change.. Only way you're gonna know is if you ask her..

Its so hard to say? But listen...you sound like you've got a really good head on your shoulders. Whats done is done, she may ask herself one day what your asking, and realize maybe she made a mistake by going to live with her father when he was really not there for either of you. You are strong for sticking by your mother. No matter what mothers are always the most loving,nurturing and talented persons you can learn from. Just try to take everything for what it is and try not to analyze too much. That's what gets the best of us when we think "Well what if this would have happened", "Why did my dad cheat on my mom", Was it something I did", Is it my fault", How could he possibly have done this"? It has nothing to do with anyone except that your dad didn't think about these things or the consequences!! Your sister does not like what he has done but for some selfish reason decided to move in with dad. Maybe she thinks she will be able to do whatever she wants since dad never really cared?? She will figure everything out though and bet she will be back with you and your mom shortly.

Because she loves her Dad, and wants to spend time with him. You really can't blame her for that. And remember... you don't know the whole story about your parent's break up. It sounds like you only know your Mom's side of the story. Maybe the marriage was really troubled or difficult.

Of course, maybe she is being spoiled and enjoys that for now. Don't worry though... if your Father is really a horrible man, then she will realize that.

But, since you are only 17, you need to know that your feelings toward your Father may change over time. You can still love both your Mother and your Father, in spite of the divorce. It may take time to move forward, but if you can love both of your parents, and get along with them, it may help you out later in life.

I wish the best of luck to you and your sister.

It would seem as though you answered your own question. Since she was raised with a sibling by a single mother, I would imagine that alot of times, she couldn't have the material things she wanted or felt she needed. With a brand new dad who's trying to make up for lost time by spoiling her, she finally has that. When I was 14, it was a constant struggle to fit in, especially if you didn't have the right clothes or gadgets or whatever, so, maybe these material things are important to her right now. As she gets older, she'll remember who was there for her her whole life and probably appreciate you and your mom more, but for now, she's just being a typical young girl.

I think that a kid would want to be with the biological parent to find out who the child is by reflecting off of whom the child came from. She wants to see what they have in common. It will make her feel like she's no longer abandoned and might be able to get back what she lost when he was away. She might cling to him even tighter so he doesn't get away again. Hopefully both her parents can adapt to this situation for the good of the girl. Hope it works.

You are much older and understand a lot more than your little sister(I hope i'm right) and of course it is because he lets her do w/e she feels like she 14 and bein rebelious you just have to talk to her about being careful so your dad doesn't end up hurting her in the long run but it'll be ok

This doesn't make sense too you.. but,, more so then boys, girls need to have their real father in some aspect.. Let her go soak up this experience,, and most likely she'll be back. The thing is girls who grow up without their fathers have a hole mess of issues later in life,, esp , with dating ,, their choice in boyfriends.. and if she is left to feel abandoned by her father,, she can become very promiscuous,, confusing sex for love. its sounds messed up ,, but is a fact.

Yuck. you in simple terms could reassure him that he's going to be great and you adult males can completely try this. i could attempt to play it off as no huge deal... in case you're making it into this huge gruesome element it is going to be all he can think of approximately and thinking too lots could make someone loopy. You sound such as you would be an excellent mom and it sounds like your little lady is going to have a spectacular place to stay. in simple terms the reality which you had the alternative of moving to a much bigger place already says which you adult males have your stuff so as... in assessment to many, many mom and dad who locate themselves on your subject. Remind your beau that him and his father have in no way been very close for an exceptionally good reason... this guy of course would not convey any good to his life and is no longer attempting to persuade him to do issues which will make his life greater suitable. or perhaps his father is determining what a crappy father he advance into and needs his son to run away in simple terms as he did. i'm uncertain what the entire subject is yet in simple terms reassure your guy that issues would be in simple terms high-quality and attempt to make easy of it. perfect of luck to you adult males and congratulations! you will do great! i advance into analyzing a number of the different posts and wanted to rigidity some extremely great factors. i think ALL first-time dads are particularly lots freaking out via the entire element and that they many times do no longer voice it. For his father to be telling him that he should not be a good father is enjoying on his already-there insecurities. it is so considerable so you might tell him which you have self assurance in him and you already know that he would be great given which you already know him greater suitable than his father does. And for every person who says that your guy needs to guy-as much as his dad... they are suited. He needs to tell his dad to butt out if he should not be supportive given which you opt for to and are going to maintain this toddler. Sigh... all the perfect...

She might just want to get to know her father. Why don't you call her your sister? She is obviously not the one you can be mad at because she isn't the "other child". Sorry, I just found that strange.
