that is so wonderful that you are spending this time with her romeo. she will remember this. my dad never did that. the thing I remember about him... sitting on his recliner watching the football game reading a comic eating potato chips and listening to the radio trying to win some tickets to something. lol
you keep playing with her, and use that timer trick, that is a great idea. maybe do 15 min, 10 is kinda short, and she's dealing with disabled kids, so I think 15-20 would work good.
hey, not that this has ANYTHING to do with your DD... but look at it this way...when a W just lays there for her H to do his "thing"...is the H getting real enjoyment or feeling loved? no...he wants the W to enjoy it too.
sorry, just what came to mind!!!
oh, and perhaps your stbx (or whatever the abv is) was saying her not to cry, because she didn't want you to feel bad or have your feelings hurt. that's what I would think anyways. however, it's totally expected, the mom is usually more the caregiver, so the kids, especially younger ones naturally feel drawn to their moms. but sounds like that role could easily switch.
