has anyone else got a child that began to worry over half sibling?
i thought my daughter would get better now baby is 4 months old but shes worse.
worrying about the baby all the time crys herself to sleep some nights etc. this is her dads baby so shes not with baby all the time but the children have started to go an extra day in the week.
i dont know if im being over the top but shes told me afew things that have been said. i put it down to SM being a new mum.
the kids know the baby was born purple coz the cord was around his neck, shes told them how bad her labour was.
this weekend she asked if he was still breathing. (he was lay on her chest)
arrangements have occurred where dad and SM have fought over baby where the police and social services where brought up.
in a way i think knowing these things probs up set her more than she needs to be upset. shes 8 years old.
she attends a course at school to help with her feelings and the teacher said she might need further help Counselling.
but i feel if she doesnt know certain things she wouldnt have so much worry.
i know i cant go to this with dad so wondering if there is anything more i can do at home. she has one of babys teddies, blanket pictures on her wall and we all talk as much as we can about the baby, but alot of the time she ends up crying.
