She stayed with us for a few days. I put my niece to bed but had to wake her up and take them home.
I stayed with my daughter, because I didn’t know what to do. I cried all night.
When I got home the next day, my partner denied it all.
Now my daughter has banned me from seeing my niece, because I am with my partner.
He was eventually accused of sexual assault and we ended up breaking up.

I haven’t seen my daughter since. She said I was dead to her and threatened to carry out a harassment order if I tried to contact her.
I am 52 years old and my daughter is 26. My ex is 54 years old.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your daughter is angry at first you sided with her ex but sometimes it can be hard to believe what our children say, even grown kids, because we don’t want to accept it.
You don’t have to blame your ex’s behavior.
Be strong for your daughter and let her know you’re always there for her to talk when she’s ready.
