Hello!

I've posted this topic a very ling time ago and here to ask again but in a different way I guess.

So before I posted about how difficult and rude my daughter's stepmother is. That was 2 years ago. Well w/today being Mother's Day I sent her a picture of my daughter and just simply said "thought you'd might enjoy".

She text back with Happy Mom's Day. It got me to thinking & I'd like some honest opinions on how we can move forward and coexist and let go of the past. I know I can't do everything on my part but I've already tried to show her I'm only concerned about my daughter and her relationship with her father. She didn't want to hear that before and only wanted to question me on how I knew my daughter's father "baby daddy". How she is his wife and how the co-parenting will go. Of course, I wasn't going for that shit. I'm all for laying things out on the table but this is my child and I'm not going to be told how to be her mother or what's going to happen between me and her father (she wanted the communication to go through her instead of me having contact with him)...

So benefit of the doubt here. That was 2 years ago. I am hoping things are better. The downfall is that he hasn't seen his daughter since her 1st birthday party in 2018. He barely calls and any contact he has had (phones calls and pictures) are initiated by me.

So what can I do to help this progress forward? I've gone from being the blame for everything (I don't know what but everything), being called a hoe, a bitch, a horrible mother and all sorts of things. Through all of that I have tried to help him bond with his daughter and still a no show.

Either way I'm going to always fight for my child and her bond with her father even if that means dealing with his wife.
