How do I help Dd through her dad suddenly going no contact with no explanation

[Cadela]

I’m a lone parent to my 7 year old.

Her dad and I had 50/50 contact up until about 18 months ago and then he suddenly blocked me and moved house.

Dd is heartbroken. Her dad had another little girl and they were so so close and she can’t understand why she can’t see her sister anymore. I’ve basically said that daddy had to move house and he’s far away but I’m here always and I won’t be going anywhere.

But she misses him so much I am heartbroken at the pain she is going through. And I honestly don’t know what the fuck I’m meant to say?

im so angry with him, but obviously would never let Dd know. How fucking dare he?

I agree with pp that it's ok for her to know you're angry and disappointed with him too- this will reassure her that she didn't deserve to be treated like that and it's not her fault. It will give her permission to express her own feelings.

If you were angry at him about something he'd done to you like cheating on you or not playing maintenance then I agree it's best to hide that from her. But when your daughter is the victim she needs to see you're on her team.

I also wonder if you've been in touch with his family.friends?

In my opinion with similar experiences just be honest. No lies then it cannot cause you problems in the future. Keep things simple. Tell her you do not know why and your sorry you cannot give her a better answer. Its also ok for your daughter to know how you feel. Your annoyed for her. No need to paint him in a good light, you dont need to have a big rant about him, but do not need to cover for him either, hes let her down. She will be okay.
