Husband’s ex hates my guts

Dear Pastor,

I have a very good job and I have my own home. I do not have children. My pay is small, but I am satisfied with what I make.

My husband drives for a company and he is a very good man. After leaving work, he comes home. If he wants the company vehicle to take me out to the country where I am from, his boss allows him to use it.

My husband had a daughter before we got married. He loves his daughter. Now she is attending university and she wants to come and live with us. I am all for it, but her mother is not. She has always felt that I was responsible for her break-up with the father.

I went with my husband to visit his daughter and I had to sit in the car while my husband went in. This woman never invited me in. The girl should have been with us already, but her mother told her that she did not want her to have any dealings with me.

The girl is rebelling against her mother. We have enough space for the girl here so my husband is not prepared to board her out. How do you feel about it?

Initial Withheld

Dear Writer,

I would suggest you do everything possible to assist this young girl. Ignore her mother totally. It does not matter whether she likes you as the man's wife. Your husband made his choice, and she should allow you to live in peace and allow your husband to do his part as the girl's father in giving her the opportunity to have a good education. Again, I say, whatever you can give to this girl, do so.

Pastor
