[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 91373, member: 53"] I agree with what DDD said about telling her you know. Another thought I had about your NOT telling her about your feelings of bitterness toward your "seperated h" is that it gives her a false feeling of how to deal with relationships. By this I mean when I was a kid our parents NEVER fought in front of us kids....now you would think that was a good thing, but I grew up with the unrealistic expectation that if you married someone you NEVER argued, raised voices or got mad. You can imagine my surpise when I married and got into an argument (over nothing), I thought I was a failure and should get divorced before we even had kids. I worked up the nerve to talk to my mom and asked her why she never argued with or got mad at my dad? She just looked at me and said it seemed like she was mad at my dad for half her married life and couldn't believe we kids didn't see this..... I'm not saying to share all the gorey details, just let your easy child know that there is more to the seperation than just "growing apart"......let her know that relationships don't just happen and you have to work at them....they can fall apart when couples are not working in the same direction...... Just my 2 cents...... [/QUOTE]
