[quote=Anonymous]I would say sympathize with her. There is a lot of social pressure on children of divorce to pretend that everything is fine, everyone's so happy, everyone's so resilient! But really, this isn't the living situation that any of you had hoped for, and it should be ok for her to say that. The loss of a comfortable home near her friends and school is a significant loss for her (in addition to and distinct from the loss of time with her father and of her intact family), and it will not help matters to deny it. Own your choices and acknowledge it to her, and she may feel better for being truly heard. Divorce is hard for everyone, and you can't always predict how the dominoes will fall.[/quote]
