Really torn in 2, my daughter sees her father every week and has done since about 6 month she old. Most weeks she cries when leaving me the only reason is that she misses me (she goes for 24 hours) she says she can’t tell her dad this because he will feel bad. To be honest she has always been emotional when I drop her and she tells me this is because she feels home sick. Her dad and his wife love her very much and from talking to her they do have some lovely experiences and memories, she is always happy when I pick her up. I work full
Time and my daughter tells me she misses me whilst she is at school. I reassure her and try my best to spend quality time together. Lately she has become more upset than normal and this morning was pleading with me to stay with me. Her father gets upset if she doesn’t go and they had a family party. I promised her I would get us a full weekend together next week, I feel at a loss as this is all the time and I want her to have a relationship with her dad but she is always upset. He will be broken hearted if he knew but also her happiness comes first! What are people’s thoights/experiences?
