[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]She was 14 at the time[/b], now she's 19. I'm not taking out my frustrations with him on her, at least I don't think I have. I'm quiet and civil at the very least with her - just not close or warm as much as we were before. [/quote] First of all, I'm really sorry for your loss. You can't hold this against her. You just can't. She wasn't an adult, she had no maturity, she took this solely through the lens of how it affected her. If anyone, you should be made at your DH if he didn't step in to manage the bad behavior…not to mention if he never clarified that your having children was in no way a decision she had any say in. She was selfish because she was a child, she acted out…but this is ultimately a you and your husband issue. And it is likely as much a function of your grief over your loss and your DH's change of heart. [/quote]
