[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't seem to realize that the nanny was one of your child's strongest attachments. From the child's perspective it is like one of her 3 parents just disappeared one day and never came back. She had only positive associations and positive emotions and a secure attachment with this person.

You also have a 3-4 year old who already knows she can't come to you about this or how she feels and so goes to other people. You never spoke again of her and obviously have negative feelings that your child has picked up on.

I think since you have gone six months, I would stay no contact. I think it was the wrong decision in the first place but bringing her back to see your child, only to them later decide again you don't want them having contact is going to be more damaging to your child.

Your child can't comprehend what she or the nanny did to warrant this alienation. Your child may be worried it was her or something she did or said or what nanny is dead etc. Who knows what anxiety this has caused for your child.[/quote]

+1 a terrible parenting decision[/quote]
