Daughter won't speak to mom after being told she needs to go live with dad.

In a post on Reddit a woman is struggling with what to do now that there&#39;s not enough space in her house for all her kids. She made an unpopular decision, feels bad, and is asking for advice.

My husband and I weren&#39;t planning for another child but it happened.  We live in a 2 bedroom home and my husband and I both work full time but we don&#39;t make much money. There is absolutely no way we can have 3 kids so my husband and I decided that it would be best if my daughter lived with her dad.
