Still here and need support

d7 was sad/melancholy tonight when looking at a picture on the counter that said "family". We talked about it and I told her some things change and that things don't always go like we think they will. She was upset that her family is no longer together. I didn't know what to say other than I love her and this was not her fault. I feel so bad for her and all the children who have to endure such devastation. I asked WAW why she thought it was best for d7 to D. She didn't have an answer. Because its not, it's selfish and self-centered around WAW.

Ugh...that is so hard. We have a writing on the wall that my D7 wrote that says "I love my family". Pulls at my heart every day and feel your pain

WAW won't have an answer because she thinks its Ok and is selfish. My STBX says she was from a divorce family and turned out fine...NOT. It is a total act of selfishness but we know that at this point.

Good advice from SH. No use in asking her about it....

I will be taking the approach that we will always be a family and tied together as your mom and dad who love you more than anything and again...like you said...this has nothing to do with "you". But I know it pains the child to not see the family hugs, trips, dinners and doing things together like other families. Not sure if its easier on the older kids or younger but to me it feels more damaging to the younger kids like ours....
