[QUOTE="Star*, post: 91437, member: 4964"] K, Not to sound clinical, but what do you think about it? I mean what if your daughter wants to know what you think and how you feel about it. Have you mentally prepared yourself for that? I agree with D3 and others in telling her that you're there for her if she needs to talk. However I feel how YOU handle the situation and YOUR tone towards explaining to her how you feel may need something more along the lines of discussing with your counselor. I don't know if you want to be nonchalant about it due to the fact that she is a young woman, someday she's going to marry and if something happens in her marriage that may be correctable she could draw on YOUR attitude to the matter and potentially walk away from a good marriage because she is mimicking your ideals. (does this make sense) On the other hand (you have 4 fingers and a thumb) and you don't want to sit down and fall apart which may be hard because it's a very emotional time for you. It most certainly is not the time to point out all her fathers faults, or be an infomercial to your private life. More of a need to know - but you need to know what to say. I would talk it over with my counselor. Your daughter may ask a ton of but why's or she may say very little. In any event you want to be prepared to handle this well. Just my .84 cents. Star [/QUOTE]
