I've been separated from ex since dd was 1. She's never known us together, and I have no contact with him due to dv.
We communicate via a relative and a communication book ( he refuses to use but I still write important stuff in) family court and all that trauma just ended for 2nd time.

Anyhoo, all of a sudden dd is getting upset as to why we aren't together and why I don't talk to him etc ( I have ptsd and need to remain healthy by not having contact).

Any book recommendations for us to read together on this tricky subject? She is old enough I suppose to have realised we aren't on good terms, though I reassure her we both love her.

I don’t know about the book but my niece has Mrs Doubtfire on loop when her parents split up.
