[quote=Anonymous]This was me growing up and it really helped me when my mom treated it almost like a death. We both really grieved the "dad/husband" we thought Dad would be. She kept it very age appropriate but it really did help me when she would say "I am really upset too, Dad was never like this before, I didn't think our family would split like this. I am sorry." Just know it was kind of...a burden we ALL were carrying, really helped me. My siblings all kind of needed a grieving stage with my mom at different points and she was good at meeting us where we were. I know you don't and can't ever trash talk your ex but it IS ok to accept this as a disappointing loss and acknowledge the hole it leaves. I actually have a pretty decent adult relationship with my dad now but he missed alot and my mom is the only parent privy to that part of me because she healed us through it. You got this. [/quote]
