Ginger, I agree with not sugarcoating things for your D. This is something that I struggle with for my own D as well.
And I just realised that I have to db my own kid as well. I can't just tell her stuff. I have to show her throufh my own actions.
It's lovely how your D has had a good example of how daddies/ grown men can treat little girls like her with love and respect. I am sure you will find another guy like that, and one that is willing to work for you too.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
