Divorced and in a new relationship

TMILLER45

Hey everyone I just have a concern for my 3 year old daughter. Her father and I are divorced and I'm now in a serious relationship. My daughter tells me and my boyfriend how much she loves him all the time. She thinks he's funny, silly, she misses him, etc. When she sees her father she brings up my boyfriend and tells my ex a different story. She says she doesn't like him. Has anyone experienced this? At times she also tells me she doesn't want to see her daddy or have him pick her up from school...I don't really say anything because I didn't know if she was saying this to get a reaction out of me. I never want my daughter to feel like she has to tell me what I want to hear or her father either. She's only 3! TIA

Is there someone at the school who she can talk to?  A counselor or the school nurse?  It could be that she's having trouble navigating her feelings.  How long have you and your X been divorced and how long have you been in this relationship?  That could also have weight on why she's acting this way.
