I have come so far on this journey, and am feeling quite strong now. Pre-Christmas I had some therapy as even after 6 years I was still finding things hard, and was still receiving texts from my ex, who now has a new woman with 3 teenage kids. My therapist suggested that the texts were helping him keep me on a string so I explained to him that I wanted to break off all contact. This actually made me feel much better and things were looking up. Now my 26 year old daughter has landed a promotion near him and is moving in with him for a year, after having lived away from home for 8 years. I appreciate she wants to save for a mortgage and am very happy that she has found the job that she wants, but am gutted that I will now have to hear more about the ex and (what seems to be) his wonderful life. I did try to make sure that both my adult children stayed in touch with their father so that is not the problem, I just hoped I didn''t have to have anything more to do with him!!He is also a drinker (as well as an adulterer) and on occasion has had bad arguments with my son, so I am a bit worried he will get drunk and argue with my daughter, who is very much like him. Any advice as how best to deal with any problems that may arise greatly received! Thanks:S

Cant you just say to your daughter, you are happy with the arrangement but you would appreciate her not telling you about your ex?

If they argue all you can do is listen!

Thank you MrsMathisfun - I did say this to her the other week, and I know she understands. She has just literally left to go there so think I am probably having a blip!
