Ex-husband ruins my daughter's life because he doesn't like that I make more money than him.

0:06.0

I have a daughter, Sadie, with my ex-husband John.

0:10.0

We got divorced five years ago, and I have primary custody while he sees her two weekends a month.

0:16.0

Last year, he got married to Amanda, who has sole custody of her kids, from a previous marriage. Amanda is a stay-at-home

0:22.9

mum, not for any health reasons or so on, she just doesn't want to work, while John works 9 to 5.

0:28.8

He makes good money to support them, but not enough to live in luxury. I have a much higher-paying job.

0:34.7

Since it's just me and Sadie, I make sure she has the best possible life.

0:38.6

1:12.1

while she's at her dad's, Amanda takes away her nice clothes and gives them to her kids, while Sadie gets

1:18.3

the clothes they buy from Target. I asked her if she wanted them back, but she said she didn't mind

1:23.6

sharing, since all of her favorite clothes were kept here. The problem came when I went to pick

1:28.7

her up last weekend. I had a business meeting and I couldn't drive her over, so Amanda offered to

1:33.8

just pick up Sadie from school, which hadn't happened before. When I got there on Sunday,

1:38.4

John and Amanda asked me to sit down with them, and when Sadie came to hug me, Amanda sent her to

1:43.4

her room quite harshly, saying

1:45.5
