Has she always been this way? Or did it only start after your relationship started? Maybe he is causing the issue? Obviously he didn’t mean what he said, when I DO’s were being swapped. Let him walk if he can’t handle it

Choose your daughter.

Your child was not asked to be brought into this world. when you carried her for 9 months you decided to be a mother. you don’t get to just kick your kid to the curb because your husband is being a whiny little pans. I’m sorry if that’s harsh, but it’s the truth. anyone who would put you in this position, should be out of yours and your daughters life. and if he’s saying he doesn’t know if he wants to stay married, he’s already made up his mind, he’s just being a pans and not saying it. be better for your daughter.

The compassion and empathy you feel for your husband should be focused on the child that is struggling. He’s a grown man and if he can’t handle it, let him walk. Imagine what kind of stress you might have to deal with unsupported in the future if you set this precedent. And your kids will never trust you again, and your spouse will know that you’ll do anything to keep them. Lose lose!

Speaking as the “problem child” of a marriage. My mom did choose her husband at the time, and guess what? He cheated and they ended up divorced. She regrets her decision and our relationship because of it was horrible most of my life. There was a lot of forgiveness moving forward, and we are closer than ever now because of it. Your child may not be as forgiving. Never choose a man over your children. Ever.

Blood is thicker than water,

My question would be did she exhibit this behavior before you got with this man or is it a result of her not wanting you with him. And extremely difficult in every front?...if she is a harm to herself or others then it is past time to seek help. There is something called emergency commitment which is often needed so one won’t harm self or others. Please be watchful……scream for help for your child if needed

No choice you have the God given privilege to choose your daughter every time

Divorce that asshat!

The fact that you HAVE to ask this question is ridiculous. Your children should ALWAYS come before anyone.

This isn’t some random guy. It’s her husband and she has 2 children with him.

It’s important for everyone to take care of themselves, especially when dealing with a loved one with additional needs. It seems that you’re all doing what’s needed in terms of care and therapy.

I don’t think you need to choose either way. It’s just a difficult situation for all involved. Continue with the therapies and look after yourselves & each other.

I think what you need to do and should do is be there and support your daughter rather than looking to send her away… she obviously needs the help and support and to have you there , not giving her up because she’s “too much to deal with”.
maybe she feels , sees or hears what’s going on aswell and she’s acting out more …
Clearly he doesn’t have you or your children’s best interests at heart and he’s thinking very selfishly… as it seems to be you are aswell…
Do you really have to choose? Or should you ? No. You can be there for both especially your daughter and If he chooses to walk away then so be it. If he does , then he doesn’t care. So Let him.

Why is this even a question!

In any circumstance you always choose your kids. If your “husband” can’t deal with your daughter, then you need to cut him loose.

Your child needs you to be fully present in her life and get her through this hard time.

You fuck your husband off mate. That is your child. She needs you more than he ever will. I can’t believe this is even a question.

Your child always comes first… this shouldn’t be a question. Obviously I’m sure it’s a very hard circumstance to deal with… but your husband decided he wanted to marry you… he should have thought about what all that meant before asking for your hand…

Daughter duhhhh! Who questions that?

There should not even be a choice that needs to be made. You brought your daughter into the world to love & protect her as much as you can and it sounds like that is what you are doing. I think you chose the wrong man to join your life. It might be sad to say goodbye to him but he doesn’t fit in your family.

no man should make you chose. This is not what a marriage should be! He should be willing to work harder for your marriage and harder for your family. He should treat this as if it were his own daughter, would he give up then? He is a coward. If this were a test, he failed.

If you did chose your husband over your daughter, could you live with that choice for the rest of your life.

Not to be rude but if this is something your second guessing than that’s sad! Your children should always come first no matter what the situation. Parents who choose their spouse or anyone else for that matter over their children don’t deserve to be parents. Give the man the boot if he can’t handle it!

He f***ing knew this was how your daughter was. Not only is he making her anxiety worse with his “stress” but also making you feel like a failure. (I’m sure you already have that opinion of yourself as all mothers feel a degree of it.) I usually play devil’s advocate but on this one, throw the whole ducking man away. Again, if he’s known you for quite a number of years…he should know the dynamic in the house and if he wanted to be a part of it so badly then he could be doing things to help your daughter, not add to hers/your stress and anxiety.
You have people in these comments that will help in any way we can. Stay strong and be your daughters voice.

Yeah so you had your child first. She needs to be your priority. And always until she’s an adult. Cannot even believe this is a question and we wonder how our kids got to where they are?!?! Tf

It’s a tough situation. Your teenage daughter in a medical situation and God and you guys along know what contributed to her state and then your husband who took vows for good or bad. Seems yo me your husband need shouldn’t be applying pressure on you to choose him over your child. He should understand that when he said he’s taking you that meant all of you including your kids. You get one chance yo be there for this child and your husband gets one chance to choose yo be there for you or walk away because its not all peachy. As a woman who was a child whose mother didn’t choose her but chose her husband, I’m asking you to choose your child. Don’t wait like my mum to choose me years later. By then I did my healing and I don’t want or need you and my kids don’t either. Every child deserves to have parents who are there. Your child obviously dealt with and is dealing with something so choose her. A man could walk away but that child came from you.

That shouldn’t even be a question honestly. Your child should always come first! Your the one that has to live with the choice that you make.

Honestly I hated everyone my mom was with. People wrote it off as teenage shit and mental illness. Now though? Now I see they were fucking garbage, and i had every right to hate them, and my mom was actually making my mental illness worse.

I am NOT saying that is what is happening here. We couldn’t possibly know that with the information given. I am saying though that discounting it as mental illness is not doing your daughter any favors. There is a root problem somewhere, and it MUST be found for the health of everyone involved. You must be open minded though because there’s a chance they won’t ever get along.

Mother to mother I couldn’t be with someone my kids don’t love.

This is a question??? I’m confused. Idgaf, my kids will always come before my husband….and he’s the biological dad.

I kinda went through the same thing! You can message me if you want a friend to talk to who understands you and won’t judge your situation. Having a teen with these issues is definitely tough and having it interfere I’m sure with not only your relationship but probably the whole household makes it even harder. Don’t give up and keep your head up. May even be time to try family counseling or a new therapist if possible. Not all therapist are the same and some are better than others. Maybe she has daddy issues with her biological and feels some type of way. Who knows. Let her have a safe place to vent and listen. Much love

Always choose your child over a man. I don’t see how you can even question it.

At age 14 I was exactly how you describe your daughter. I was lost, diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, suicidal and the whole nine yards. I was a mess and had very little support from my mother at that time. My parents had divorced years prior and my mother was in a relationship with a very unstable, angry man and she constantly blamed me for putting a strain on their relationship. To put it into few words, she chose him over me in nearly every case. I grew to resent her and it only made our family disfunction worse. My advice is to support your daughter. She is your flesh and blood and deserves your love and support through thick and thin. Even in a perfect family situation, your husband doesn’t have to stick around. You choose your spouse, children don’t get to choose their parents. Like others have said, if she is not a physical threat to you guys or your other children, you should ALWAYS choose your child.

Children’s therapy definitely adds stress into a relationship. I have two autistic toddlers and the amount of therapies we go through literally seems endless. It’s extremely hard on us to keep our relationship up. If my husband ever told me anything like this though I would be signing the divorce papers. It’s not worth it stay with someone who isn’t willing to out their absolute all into everything including kids.

Your kids come before anyone . Point blank . If he wants to leave at everyone’s time of need and support , so be it . He wasn’t meant to be there anyways . Because if he loved them , and you , like he “says he does” he wouldn’t be wanting to leave and not be with y’all anymore . I know it’s stressful , but to abandon the ones who love you , is horrible !

You talk about choice, she is your child, already because of many crisis, in therapy ??? Chose him, see how long she lives !! I’m sick of women selecting a man over child, shouldn’t even be a question. The women I know want a partner to share, help, not make things worse.
