I (45M) decided to stop paying my daughter’s(19F) college tuition after she blocked me basically everywhere and won’t talk to me.

This started about 2 years ago, when I found out my then ex wife Bertha (44F) had an emotional affair and kissing someone else. My ex and my daughter were really close, she was her only daughter while we had two younger sons. Though the divorce did change our relationship, I was still in good terms with my daughter.

A couple months after that whole mess, one of my friends, Stacy(31F) was really there for me the whole time, and we decided to get together. I don’t think our relationship is wrong. We’re both over 30, and actual adults. Once again, we were mostly cordial still, though I’m pretty sure my ex made some nasty remarks.

Life went on until recently Stacy figured out she was pregnant. I do realize I’m older than the average dad, but once again I don’t think I did anything wrong. I also proposed to her because I do genuinely love her. My sons were entirely supportive and actually pretty excited when I told them. My daughter on the other hand got super mad, and presumably this is what led to the blocking silent treatment. All of this happened during December. Stacy gave birth 2 weeks ago, and we were talking about cutting my daughter’s tuition for next year because she hasn’t been at any family functions and hasn’t talked to me since January.

She figured it out through her college portal and got really mad once again. She told about how I was marrying to a person so much younger than me and so forth. It’s like she only wants me for my money and doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Edit: I’ve tried reaching out to her, asking my sons if they could reach out to her, asking mutual friends. She didn’t want to talk to me at all.
