Hi nomore and jenny. Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
Nomore your journey has been such a difficult one. Your post made me cry and I can relate so much to your post. My ex has an older daughter who was part of our lives and is not anymore . Again my daughter want to know where her sister has gone. I never got to the bottom of the breakdown of that relationship but his daughter was part if our lives for years. She is now a teenager doing her own thing but the addiction has also caused damage to that relationship.
Nomore I think what a lovely woman you are! I’m glad you are in a position where both you and your CG are in control of your lives.
Jenny thank you for sharing your experiences. Its so kind to offer your advice when you have come out the other side. Again you are so kind and show such insight. Even at 4 my daughter wants to know where her dad is. I try and offer a distraction or simple answer to her. I will be mindful of not lying. I have had enough of lying.!!
It is so hard to do but because I can read others experiences I can see it is imperative!
Thanks again for taking the time to help.
Regards
Mx
