A desperate father took to the internet in recent days asking for advice after he had to change the locks on his home so his daughter couldn’t get in.
The divorcee has a new girlfriend whom his daughter, Georgia, despises and after a shocking ploy to get rid of her was intercepted by her father, he said he had no other choice but to shut her out.
Explaining the situation, he said: “When my daughter ‘Georgia’ was 13, her mother and I divorced.

“I didn’t want to uproot Georgia, therefore they kept the house and I moved into a nearby apartment.
“My ex was a stay-at-home mom, so I continued paying all the bills for two years and am currently still paying only the mortgage. Georgia is now 17 and resides with her mother”.
He met his girlfriend over a year ago, and bought himself and his girlfriend a house so that they could have more space - moving out of his apartment.
He says he knew pretty quickly that his daughter didn’t like his girlfriend and said “I understand changes such as these are hard for kids to cope with”.
The man went on to say: “Since the divorce, Georgia could come and go as she pleased.
“Since my girlfriend moved in though, Georgia became obnoxious with constantly trying to run her off and humiliate her.
“The first incident, Georgia came over one afternoon while I was at work to say when she got home from school the previous day, I was coming out of her mother’s bedroom.
“She knew this was not true as I had been with her that entire day. I sat Georgia down for a serious reality check”.
His daughter didn’t stop there and he said: “Georgia was apparently snooping through our mail, she saw my girlfriend’s DOB. For the record, we’re 13 years apart both divorced with kids. Georgia asked my girlfriend, ‘So what do you see in my dad, a caregiver?’
“One early Saturday morning she came over while we were still sleeping. She had brought empty Depends underwear boxes and stacked them in the living room. When we woke up, Georgia said, ‘Wow, so you wear Depends just like my grandpa does huh?’
“Thereafter, Georgia would refer to her only as ‘grams’ or ‘the old hag.’ The next incident, she used our bathroom, said she ‘stunk it up’ and used some ‘old lady smelling cologne’ to mask the odour.
“It was actually very expensive perfume, Georgia sprayed about 70% of the bottle around the house”.
While these minor, and immature events occurred and were quickly sorted, his daughter then took things to the extreme in what the dad described as “the last straw”.
“Georgia came over for breakfast. At some point, she took my phone and sent her mother a message that read, ‘I can’t stop thinking about you, I want to work things out and get back together’.
“She deleted the text from my phone. Unbeknownst to me, she had her mother’s phone on her. Took a screenshot then deleted the text on her mother’s phone.
“Tuesday, she sent the screenshot to my girlfriend on her mother’s phone and said, ‘I’m sorry, I think you need to know’. She then deleted that text as well”.
The devastated man said: “This nearly caused her to leave, exactly what Georgia wanted. I immediately changed the locks.
“Before I could speak with Georgia, she showed up and couldn’t get in. She called, we both were p*ssed off for different reasons.
“I told her she’s not welcome at our house until she has a serious attitude change”.
Since he locked his daughter out of the house, her mother got involved and said “I traumatized Georgia”, and “claimed the text incident was a load of sh*t that never happened (Georgia admitted it)”.
She then went on to say that he would have to “pay for her therapy, because she’ll need it after I put some ‘tramp’ above my own child”.
People flocked to the comment section of the Reddit post to give their advice on the situation, but one person simply said: “Seriously. That's insane”.
Another tried to reassure the father by saying: “To be honest, the ex probably ONLY knows what the daughter is telling her.
“The daughter probably goes home to her mom and says horrible things about the new girlfriend and the mom believes them”.
A third wrote: “Sounds like she DOES need therapy. It’s unfortunate that her mother can’t bring herself around to co-parent. What this little girl needs is a united front to stand up to her invasiveness and hostility”.
While a fourth pointed out the alarming behaviour from the young adult and said: “She's less than a year away from being a legal adult and with her behaviour she'll be in hot water quickly after that”.
