A man found himself in a tough spot when he decided to let his daughter move in without asking his wife first. This choice led to a big argument, showing how hard it can be to blend families. The dad has a 16-year-old daughter, Rhea, from his first marriage. She lives far away with her mom, and both parents share custody. The dad's current wife, Nora, had always said she loved Rhea like her own. But things got complicated when Rhea started facing extreme bullying at school. The school didn't handle it well, and the bullying got worse over time. After winter break, Rhea called her dad, really upset. She didn't feel safe anymore and asked if she could move in with him. He said yes right away and talked to his ex-wife, who agreed that Rhea needed to leave. But when he told Nora, she got really mad. She felt he should have asked her first and thought the move would be too much for her daughter.
Nora said she didn't sign up to be a full-time stepmom and refused to take on any responsibilities for Rhea. The dad was shocked and hurt, especially since Nora's daughter already lived with them full-time. He felt like his wife was being unfair and wondered if their marriage could survive this fight. The dad handled all the arrangements for Rhea's move and therapy on his own. Nora even told her friends about the argument, and some of them sided with her. This made the dad feel even more frustrated and worried about their future together. In the end, the dad got a lot of support from people online. Many agreed that he did the right thing by protecting his daughter. They also pointed out the double standard in Nora's behavior, since her daughter was already living with them.
