[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychologically, the mother's abandonment is often much more damaging to a child. Your daughter is coping with this story and also teaching her brother in order to protect herself/both of them from the truth. Have you considered having her speak to a therapist? Her awareness and adeptness here is a sign she is far older than her years, in terms of self-protection and the shame that she feels. [/quote] Don’t assume she feels shame. My dad left us and all I felt was anger. The therapist my mom sent me to kept trying to explain why he left (he was a self centered alcoholic) but I didn’t give a sh— why he left. [/quote]
