New twist, and I have that same old feeling of despair.
Daughter asked me last night, while we were getting ready for bed, "Daddy can I tell you something". I said, sure sweetheart, you can always tell Dad anything. She hesitated and said "no", because I wouldn't like what she had to say. I told her she could always share anything with me, about anything and everything. She proceeded to tell me that "mommy is dating OM'. I didn't really know how to handle it, so I asked her what made her think that. She said the daughter of OM's friends told her. This is the 12yo. little girl who does a lot of babysitting for wife. I asked daughter how she felt about that. She said she didn't like it at all, not one bit. Without knowing what the best way to handle it, I decided to redirect the conversation onto something different.
I feel so bad for daughter. It is such a shame that a sweet little innocent girl has to deal with the feelings she is undoubtedly experiencing.
