Children as Weapons

Stop using children as weapons! The message above says it all. Do not abuse your child by using them to get back at your ex. Do not use them as threats when you and your ex do not agree on things. It is never wise to make them your weapon to get what you want. Not even when you are hurting so much that your heart seems to be breaking piece by piece. 

It is not worth the anger and it is not worth the stress. No matter how old your child grew, do not use him/her to get back at your SD. When they can think on their own, they could decide if they want to be with you or with their dad. The wisest thing to do is to be honest to them and make them feel that they can still have a family even without their dad. 

Much love,
