Perceived feeling of abandonment

[Dad34567]

Looking for help, advice or guidance on how to manage/protect my 7 year old daughters feelings and or mental health for now and in the future when the day comes when she asks wheres mums no asking her phone, wheres mum gone?

Recently mum has chosen to have no contact or involvement with our daughter.
Their relationship has testing for both and now sadly come to and end.

Help please.

Honestly? I’d get professional help. Play therapy for example.

From your side keep reinforcing the fact that it’s not your daughter’s fault. But careful not to make her mum out to be a big evil villain either. She’s likely to have loving feelings towards her mum (as well as anger, etc) and it will be confusing for her to love someone she’s told is ‘bad’.

I'd second getting professional help too. Are the school doing any sessions with her?

DD's DF had a very similar situation and was often taken to the Nuture Room for some one to one sessions.
