Keeping the Kids Out of It

[PrincessP]

Thank you all for the support. I hope more from the DB Community chime in, especially the parents.

I don’t want to rock the 180 boat with a resentment-filled dialogue or written communication. With that said, our D4 is suffering in this situation. She is showing signs of severe anxiety. Our once happy go-lucky and innocent child is seemingly frightened and trepidatious about what she can and cannot say, even about day-to-day things such as how her day at (nursery) school was. It needs to be addressed and perhaps the best way to do it is have this conversation in the presence of a child psychologist. I can only hope that he would be amenable to family therapy, if nothing else. Whatever happens in our adult world kids have to be protected from as much as possible.

I am disappointed, for lack of a better word, in my H for putting her in this position. Even my therapist feels it is an unconscionable burden to place on a child. He is in a selfish place right now. There is nothing I have done or will do that I will ask our D to cover up for me.
