[quote=Anonymous]If your DD cries everyday about this you need to focus on what’s happening with her instead of whining about how things suck. Sounds like your own warped personal mindset about this is affecting her. Knock it off. Work on healthy coping strategies and routines she likes. Find things to look forward to and plan — wouldn’t you know it Halloween is coming up, great place to start. Start talking every day in small increments and age appropriate information about what’s happening so you don’t have one day of DOOM to tell her all the bad things. Full out Sheltering is unhealthy, you know this. And yes use virtual connections which are better than nothing. You are the adult. Your job is to parent through circumstances you can’t control, not whine and create more drama than we all already have. Do your job, be a leader, a teacher, a source of comfort. Focus on your kid, she’s not doing well and she needs you to help her navigate, not escalate. [/quote]
