I'm sure you have told yours the same, I just know that for me, thats been the hardest lesson.
I have been trying to tell him, his job is to be a kid, go to school, and work hard.
NOT be a go between.

Well put. This is one of the hardest things I have to do as well. I don't ask her anything about what happens at Dads. She tells me sometimes this or that but I don't question her. Her Dad of course is another matter. He also thinks he can still tell me what to do in my own house. Whatever.
MG - Counseling is a great idea. We did some through the school which helped her a lot. Just a neutral party that she could work her feelings through with.
