I think I would still sit down and talk to your daughter again. This time, ask questions, but don't respond with hurt or anger or ask her not to express her feelings/desires. She's just a baby. She doesn't understand and she shouldn't have to hold in what she thinks because of how you will be hurt. As long as she is not hateful or spiteful, she should be able to voice her concerns without you being upset. She's just a kid trying to make sense out of a crazy, effed up world and if she has to hold it all inside....believe me you don't want that either. She'll only learn that what she thinks/wants/believes doesn't matter and she'll become a martyr, too. It sucks to be this way, sometimes.
For 24 hours from now I will change my last name to Mellenmack so that you can find me. I suck at finding other people, lol.
Give me about 10 minutes to change it.
