Obviously, it was only a matter of timePosted by apm in children, breaking up, bad day |

Lots of tears from both of us and she called X2B who did a good job of getting her to laugh for a while. Unfortunately, that disappeared when M finished the phone call. More tears and more questions.
I'm hoping that tiredness is playing a big factor in this as M was out late last night with X2B and late nights normally catch up with M the night after.
I spoke to X2B afterwards and played the severity down a bit Not sure why. Maybe because I knew she was out with J and I knew she would b worried and didn't want to spoil her evening. How pathetic am I.....
I'm sure this won't be the last, but if I'm honest, I could have done without it today. Any other day and I could have dealt with it no problem. Today I feel like castrating someone just for vengeance.
Seeing my little girl unhappy brings out the worst in me, I do hope X2B and her new man realise that.
I honestly do.

from my experience this goes on for months, I'm afraid. They do get used to it in the end, though. Christmas and the double set of presents may help, Sadie |

You dealt with it fine...you know that she is aware of the situation now, perhaps does not quite comprehend it yet, but you have the natural skill to help her to deal with it, I believe there is no harm in crying with children, you share the pain together and share your thoughts on the matter, keep it all out in the open and allow her to revisit the sad place when she wants to... It will get better because she will realise that she still has you and still has her mum and that's all she needs, plus think about the special one on ones she'll have with you...this will far exceed what perhaps she may have had with you if you were still at home. It is a rocky road, but thankfully she has a father like you. Sals |

Andrew, Although I am going through all kinds of stuff at the moment, I haven't yet had to come to terms with seeing my STBX with someone else. No doubt that will come one day, along with yet another suitcase full of emotions to add to the ever increasing baggage. Reading your blog has made me wonder about how my children will handle it. I can see it being a big issue for the older two, but youngest son of 8 seems to be taking everything in his stride so far. Maybe there will come a point when it does seem to affect him. Well done yourself so far. Time will help your daughter I am sure, but equally having a Dad who takes such care of his little girl is the best possible thing. It's very early days. Like you, seeing my children upset is devastating. Luckily, so far our issues haven't caused too much visible upset. You just don't know what is going around in their minds though. And when and how it will manifest itself. Have to wait and see. Mike |

Andrew, really sorry to hear that but youve dealt with it well. She can also see you and your Ex working together despite being in separate homes to make sure she is loved. Youre not pathetic by the way, by not wanting to spoil her evening. Noble is a better word I think. Not many would have taken that view. |
