MM,

I think she needs the time alone to figure out what she really wants. Let DD be the one that gets upset and clingy. You be the bigger one that gives her space. She doesn't know what it will be like without you until you let her try it. No more picking S up.....no more at her beck and call on the end of a text....

It's the hardest thing you'll ever do. And when you have young kids it's even harder. I'm having trouble with it myself even though my common sense tells me it's the right thing.
