Prior to our separation and subsequent divorce, one time out at dinner my XW drunkenly told me she would leave me if she met someone wealthier than me. She did, and she left, and did what she could to poison our young daughter against me.

Luckily our daughter loves me too much and is too smart to absorb almost everything my ex says about me, and I’m sure in the long run her tactic will boomerang and damage our daughter’s view.

That said, her wealthy boyfriend is a mustache having, coal rolling pickup truck driving Tr*mping MAGAt.

He, like many a belligerent racist Tr*mp supporter, feels like it’s his place to espouse his hate-filled rhetoric to everyone within earshot. Unfortunately this now includes our beautiful sweet and loving 6 year old.

I think she’s too smart and open hearted to absorb 99% of what he says, but that 1% has me nervous. His opinions are poison pills that could take root in insidious ways and I’m scared about that.

Normally I could care less about someone’s political bent, I’m not particularly political in any direction, though I guess if pressed I would put myself in the “liberal” camp. Generally I think people are entitled to their opinion, everyone has one and people love to share, but there is a new mode that scares me for my daughter’s future.

I guess there’s nothing I can do about this directly, but how can I gently guide my daughter away from hate fueled rhetoric? Any suggestions would be welcome and intelligent suggestions will be considered.
