Wow, thanks MrsH! I'm VERY glad to hear that a child this same age is doing the same thing. I've asked D why she doesn't act like this with her dad and she said "it's because I don't see him all the time". So she wants to enjoy her time with him. Maybe that's what your S is thinking too.
It just upsets me that she said the killing herself comment. She's so young to say that and even know what it would mean. I was stunned and didn't ask her if she knew what she was saying and she was too mad to talk probably anyway.
I'm going to just continue to express my love to her and talk to her about her feelings, etc. I'm still in the process of finding a dang C in my insurance network so maybe they'll see kids too.
It sucks that life it up in turmoil for the kids though. It's hard for us to go through it so I imagine it's a big mess for the kids, and they're not sure how to express all their feelings at times either.
