Frank,

My boys reacted in very much the same way after their father left. Once they got over the initial "shock", they did not want to talk about it. Of course, I was worried about them. This is not an easy experience for anyone. They tried very hard to hang on to normalcy. They wanted to keep doing the things they had always done in their teenage lives. I think at some point they will have to deal with the emotions of what has happened to their family, but that may take awhile. Your D is just trying to keep herself together in a very uncomfortable situation. She knows the score, she knows the players, she knows how this game goes, she knows that you love her.

Give her some space. There will be time later for talking.

Hang in there.

Hugs,
Spitfire


Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.
