Mockers,
Why wouldn't it be okay to tell your D that when she says that it hurts mommy's feelings? That you know she loves her daddy, but she needs to be nice to you, too?

I think I would continue to act as if. If you are not comfortable being emotional yet, come here or cry outside or take a walk. I know how hard it is to not feel comfortable in your own home, and to feel you need to hide your true feelings. But, right now, I would play it safe.
Vent here or privately.

Take care of yourself.


Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
