DD5 just gone ecstatically into year 1, I can't help feeling its just what she needs, to take her mind off her crap time with dad recently. I am so bloody proud of her

[pirategirl]

she hopped and skipped all the way. Was so excited bless her. Hugged her friends, and generally smiled like a little cheshire cat.

Wasn't bothered at all when i left.

BUT I was, I am happy but sad too, its too quiet, and I miss her already!!!

She also made her mind up this weekend that she didn't want to see her dad, so I said she didn't have too.

I have striven to make her want to go for 2 yrs but I cant be assed anymore.

She is feeling empowered methinks!!!

She sounds great pirategirl. Not sure of your story but the fact that she made that decision herself will be good for her.
