D7 had a little breakdown today over NYE. She asked why I can't go to SIL's and I explained that's part of divorce. She started bawling which caught me off guard. I held her and got her calmed down and we talked for a good 20 minutes about everything. The plan is for them to still come home because she wants to be with me but I told her if she's having a good time then she should stay and I would be happy because she was having fun. She also asked if she could IM me all weekend (Santa gave her a Kindle Fire) which of course I said yes to. After talk I took kids out for lunch and went swimming which always calms her down. We even met up with W for dinner (not my idea).
It was really tough seeing her cry like that. Yesterday she acted fine but obviously she isn't so I've been worried sick. I'll stay on top of it and make sure she knows she can talk with me. I texted wife about what happened and she sounded a little concerned on phone but didn't ask too many questions. I am mentally and physically drained after last 2 days. They all leave for weekend and I think the cousins will keep D busy but if not at least she knows she can call or IM.
