She may have ACTED fine while talking to him, and keep in mind this child does not talk about her feelings much at all.
typing on a blackberry so forgive me any typos, short sentances, but this right here is important.
Why does she not talk about her feelings much? Did your stbx invalidate them like he did to yours and as he just did in his response to you?
People who have there feelings frequently invalidated by someone they love and believe will start to discount or even feel that they are wrong or something is wrong with them if they feel a certain way. Everyone is entitled to there feelings no matter what they are, and they are not wrong.
I'd just watch your kids, and when they express feelings, and just validate that its ok to feel that way..
Have fun on your trip, and hope you have a great time!!!
