Today, my 15 year-old daughter has been with her boyfriend for about a year. I really wish they would break up. Not for the typical father reasons. My daughter is just like her mother, my ex. She’s clinically depressed and hides it well. He’ll be miserable just like I was. The breakup would be for him not her. FML

Take your daughter to the doctors and advocate for her with as much care as you seem to be lavishing on her boyfriend.

wow, so you care about some boy way more than your own daughter. how about trying to get her some help instead of abandoning her like you did her mother.

Wowser you’re a shitty parent. Maybe the boyfriend has more gumption than you and can see the many many good sides your daughter has, and loves her for it?

I don’t know, maybe try getting your daughter some help? Counseling? Antidepressants? A shit-ton of weed?

It seems like you need some serious therapy. Your daughter is not your wife. You can't compare her depression be it genetic based or environment based (divorce can be harsh on kids). It's your responsibility as a parent to help her through it, to get her the treatment she needs and to make sure she grows up to be a happy healthy mentally stable adult. Stop with the whining and accusation games and parents up!!

Tell me you hate women without actually Saying, "I hate women"

Your daughter is made up of parts of both of you, both the good and the bad. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking she's "just like her mother." That won't help anyone. No one is "just like" anyone else. Drop your anger and resentment towards your ex and love your daughter for who she is. You probably both need lots of therapy, and in her case at least, medication.

Oh, f*** you. Being more concerned with your daughter's boyfriend and yourself, rather than your daughter and then wife, is a red flag that you're probably the common denominator in your daughter's and ex-wife's depression. Get therapy for your daughter and for yourself.
