Blended families can experience heightened tension and drama, especially when they first start living together. Romy is adamant that her young daughter should not share a room with her ex-husband’s fiancée’s son.

Unfortunately, the house is small, leaving no other options. When Romy stood her ground, an unexpected solution emerged that only fueled her frustration.

Here’s how she shared her story with us.This is Romy’s letter:

My ex-husband’s fiancée, Nadine, is moving in with her 14-year-old son into his two-bedroom house.

I said, ‘I don’t want some 14 y.o. boy sharing a room with my 12 y.o. daughter. His fiancée silently smirked.

A few days later, I went to pick up my daughter from her dad’s house. I entered her room, and to my horror, I found her in tears.

My heart dropped when I saw her closet empty. She told me that Nadine had moved her belongings out of her bedroom and told her to sleep downstairs on the living room couch I was furious and called my ex.

He explained that Nadine did this to have “maximum distance” between her son and my daughter, as I had requested.

I asked, in that case, why wouldn’t her son sleep on the couch? My ex said that I was the one making all the fuss in the first place, so it didn’t make sense for her son to
be thrown out.

I was told not to interfere any longer because this is not my house anymore, but I am beyond angry. Am I in the wrong?
