[QUOTE="Andy, post: 233288, member: 5096"] Stay strong warrior mom! It is super hard. Poor Tink! It is hard to talk about something when it is a mumble jumble of thoughts and feelings - where to start? Maybe instead of putting down how she is feeling (because she is not sure where to start and how to handle the conflicting feelings), maybe each day she can write (or talk to you) about what a feeling means (not how it applies to this situation). For example, "I love ........." and "I hate......." then "I am good at........" and "I wish I was better at.........." then "I like to ........." and "I would rather not ........" Maybe if she can get a better handle of what feelings are for herself, it will be easier to sort out what is going on with her feelings for her dad? But then again, this may be too over her head? With the "I love......" and "I hate......" point out that she can insert the word dinner. It depends what is being served. In the same way, she can love her dad and be angry at him at the same time because he is a combination of choices. She can love him when he makes good choices and be angry when his choices hurt himself and those around him. He is still dad, just acts different on different days. Just brainstorming! [/QUOTE]
