My dd5, is suffering since her dad left, and his subsequent lack of commital, understanding.
Since I suffered depression as a child, and still do, I am very aware that she is struggling with her feelings. I say this becuase she is very knowing and sensitive, and alot like me.
I wondered if it would help her at al to talk to someone else, but I would not want it to make her feel more pressured by having to talk about him, nor do I want to just go and see my gp, and be put in the 'system' without some knowledge of what to expect.
As an adult I know how hard it is to accept situations, to accept that you cannot change people. Having worked on these issues myslef thru my life, I know that some of the answers you seek come with time and experience. So would there realy be any point in trying to sort something for her, when as she puts it 'he's never coming home mummy, so I am always going to feel this sad'
I am just at the end of my tether with weight in her mind she seems to carry, this grief and anger. She has also been weting herself daily for a month now, and the gp has said this is behavioural rather than physical??
help gratefully recieved here, thanks.
