Oh Grizz, I am so sorry. I am crying as I read this.
I agree with AS, look into counselling.
It is so difficult at any age. I just want to share with you some things my son told me recently. While he was 16 at the time, I believe his words would help at any age.
He said, though it was so difficult, there are things I did that helped him through. He thanked me for never saying a bad word about dad and for not getting in the way of their relationship. He said it helped him so much that I was strong and he didnt have to worry about me. He is happy I never forced him to talk about his feelings because he always knew I was there for him to talk or just sit with.
I will say to watch your daughter carefully. You might want to speak to her teacher or school counsellor.
They really will be looking at you. So it is very important to show them how to navigate through life's turmoils with strength and courage.
If you are ok, they will be, too.
It will be very hard for awhile, G, but they will get through this. After all, they have you for a daddy.
