Strong Takes and Sharper Words from the Crowd:
When users weighed in, they held nothing back. It’s a raw, honest look at what people really think.
The original poster (OP) is facing immense family conflict after his daughter exposed his wife's private diary entries, which contained critical but vulnerable reflections on the blended family dynamics and the OP's ex-spouse.
The OP has chosen to support his wife, leading to alienation from his daughter, son, and extended family, while simultaneously facing legal threats from his ex-wife regarding custody.
Was the OP correct to stand by his wife's right to privacy regarding her therapeutic writings, despite the resulting damage to his relationship with his children, or did his support overlook the intense hurt caused by his wife's private criticisms?
How can this blended family move forward when core trust has been shattered by the revelation and subsequent public exposure of private thoughts?
