You truly are her father. She'll be back.

They'll be back.
Period.
My mantra. My heartfelt belief.

fwiw--I believe it too.

This is not reality, altho it may temporarily be their reality. But I have no doubt--even in my own sitch, with my nieces and nephews--they'll eventually figure it out. xH will continue to be. . .well, xH. and they'll be disgusted at being lied to, disgusted at how they were manipulated into responding (like my former parents-in-law) and the discomfort of living inauthentically will outweigh the discomfort of facing someone they know they've behaved badly toward. some days, gardener, it's more a hope than a belief. but most of the time....
