standing for me

[Ahoy]

I'm actually more angry because of my daughter now being suspicious and wondering why he's not communicated (he has not responded to her texts today at all). She spent an hour crying in my arms this evening. I validated, told her that I'm sorry if by me being upset if I had upset her. Told her that she should not feel like she is in the middle or has to choose sides. That she doesn't have to like H's decisions but that it should not interfere with her love for him, because this has nothing to do with her. She is upset at the speed at which he moved out. It was a fast and big change for her, and she is still upset by it.

She says she cries every night.

I know I was upset earlier when she pointed out that she had seen his car. I'm sure she could tell I was miffed and upset. I need to be better at keeping my emotions in check -- something I told her I would work on. But that I'm also human, and I have emotions and sometimes fail. But I will try to be better and help her with her own emotions too.

So painful to watch her struggle through this.
