Ah, some times, with some people .... do you really think you alone can prevent an R or M from imploding? Finding the correct communication wave length, that both can relate to, is a big key I think. I wonder if people who run away from their problems ever hook up with another that does the same? Who would be the WAS then? LOL
I think your D is in good hands with you. I would also add, to let her express her feeling, even if you don't agree. I think it's even more important when kids get older & the type of bond you have may change at times. Always be a father your D can feel comfortable talking to & telling her problems to. I don't have a very close relationship with my dad, I think because of the real lack of emotion & understanding from him. Kinda hard to explain. Lets just say a few months after my H left me, I told my dad. After that he did not ask about my H nor did I volunteer any info. After I was D, I told him, I was D & he said I was wondering about that. End of topic. Yet, I cannot fault my dad too much, because honestly he has 0 R/M skills.
I'm still working on building my own skills.
