[QUOTE="MommaK, post: 690766, member: 20354"] So the husband and I spent time talking this evening. One thing I said to him is that I feel like he and the daughter compete and fight over my time and attention. The daughter is very clingy to me and the husband while not quite so clingy still requires a lot of time. Daughter doesn't just get upset when someone other than her gets my time, she gets downright dang mad. Anyway, he saw it first hand tonight shortly after I called his attention to it. After she tried to cause a fight over my time and attention I collapsed emotionally and sobbed. Daughter says she feels like no one but me loves her, and I get that. Husband has his issues and tends to not spend time with the daughter or the son. Daughter pushes him away when he tries and flat refuses to let him spend time with her. I feel like a rope in a tug of war. Does anyone else have this issue and how do you try to manage it? I do plan to talk with the therapist about it because I am at a loss. [/QUOTE]
