Hi, I am looking for advise on how to tackle this issue. I am a single mum and dd is my only child. Xh (dd's dad) is always in and out of her life, I used to encourage him to be constant in Dd's life but we end up fighting coz I won't take him back. So now I don't bother, we don't talk. Such that he comes to pick dd up to sleep over at his house(two wknds a month) and a "hi" is good enough. The thing is d/d always cries for me now at nights when she is at her dad's or if she is at a sleepover at anyone's house. The other time i had to go and pick her up from her friend's house at midnight as she was crying and saying that she misses me. She always assures me that nothing bad is happening but she just misses me. Yesterday she slept over at my sisters house and she rang me at night crying about missing me and that she wanted to come home. I didn't go to pick her up and she slept and today she has been asking if I could pick her up. She is on half term, I cant afford to pay hols club as i don't get any support from XH. So its all down to me. So my sister is helping me out. What would you advise I do, am worried that dd is losing her self confidence as she is such a bubbly girl.....help.
