Me and W talked this morning because I asked about D7 after she had such a hard time with D11 leaving for church camp for the week. I have been concerned about D7. Here is how the conversation went...
K4D: How was D7 this morning?
W: She cried a lot for D11 last night. I spent a lot of time with her. We watched a movie, got her mcdonalds, had birthday cake and a sundaie(we're eating healthier all week) Laid her down next to me She passed out pretty quickly and slept 10 hours She was fine this morning No fits Gave her $2 for snack We're going to start excercising together. She's very upset about her weight She doesn't want to be what she calls "tubby"
K4D: Ah I think that she has bonded with D11 through this and looks at D11 as her only stability now
W: Maybe But I think also... From what I gathered last night That house still scares her because of the cemetary
K4D: No. Cause she was the same way with me
W: Oh really?
K4D: Yup
W: She wouldn't be in any room without me. Followed me around from room to room, bathroom, etc.
K4D: Yup
W: Ok
K4D: Plus she made a profound comment this weekend in a somber tone
W: What did she say? K4D: She asked why a divorce and then said it makes hers and D11's lives so much harder in a very somber tone
W: Yes, I understand that
K4D: It really tore me up inside. She has obviously been thinking about it as we know she turns things over in her head before asking
W: Very true
I wasn't going to tell her. But it didn't seem like she was aware of anything going on with D7.
I wanted to see if it was just her at my place while D11 was gone, but no, it was also at W's place. D7 I think really has bonded with D11 because of this.
This may have been a step back, but I felt like she needed to know since I didn't believe she did know.
