[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are still healing OP. Give yourself sometime and you will start to love again. I feel really sorry for you. &lt;&lt;hugs&gt;&gt; Anger is part of the grieving process.

Talk to your DH about how much it means to you. The three of you are in a different place now then you were back then. She will be moving out soon and that may change things for her. Hang in there. [/quote]

She has been healing for 2+ years, being merely civil and quiet. Seriously, you think that is fair to the child involved? I am sorry, but that is way, way, way selfish.[/quote]

Just to clarify, I am the OP. I didn't say I was always quiet and civil, I just said that I was that way at the least. There are times when it's hard for me to feel okay around her. And to clarify the timeline, she was 16 when I got pregnant and treated me unkindly for a little more than 2 years after that. So yes, I've been healing from the miscarriage, but the actual change in her attitude towards me is pretty fresh. And I was asking for help and support on how to move forward - to just put everything in her and my relationship fresh. It's hard for me. I'm not perfect. Clearly. Which is why I'm asking for help, not criticism (or at the very least constructive criticism).[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying the timeline, OP.[/quote]
