[QUOTE="keista, post: 435843, member: 11965"] Thanks Marg, I do reinforce that message. Unfortunately in this situation, he didn't just leave me, he left the kids as well - little to no contact. What's funny is that he admits it. In his "answer" to my petition for divorce, his very first sentence was "When I left the [B]family[/B]....." Not wife, not spouse, not petitioner, but family. I found that very telling. And yes, she (they actually) will understand about divorce when she gets older. Might even be able to understand that he's a gfgDad and he was not ABLE to be the dad she wanted/needed. These general things I am not concerned about. We had a different breakthrough today, but I've got a good analogy in my head to pull out next time she brings it up. Thanks again, everyone. [/QUOTE]
