Do you know what's going on with OM? I know at one point, you said they were friends but if it has gone past that I would talk to your D and let her know you are aware of him and from what you know of him he seems like a nice man, etc. I guess my thought is taking the high road will make your D feel comfortable talking about them around you and in the end that's the most important thing...making sure your kids feel comfortable keeping an open dialog with you. It may require some tongue biting though, if you begin to hear things from the kids that you don't like...I have been here myself, wanting the kids to openly talk but at the same time it's really hard not to confront their dad about some of the things they tell me, but I put their feelings first.
