| | | NEXT MESSAGE  | | | | | AUTHOR: | conf-sing | DATE: 02/11/04 12:53pm | | SUBJECT: |  Confused & Guilty | | | I have an 8 yr old daughter. I married again 2 years ago. My daughter moved in with us after 2 years of my marriage. All this while, she has been liveing with my parents. She is in Singapore, and we are in California. When she came here to live with us, she could not/did not want to accept my husband as dad. She just could not go to to him. As a result, we decided to send her back to live with my parents. She is there now and she misses only me and not my husband, obviously. She often asks my mom why she cant be with her mummy. When my mother tries to explain to her about my husband, she does not want to open up to that. I feel confused, depressed and guilty. DId i make the right choice by sending her back? On top of that, my husband wants to have kids of his own. I cannot seem to accept that because i feel guilty. How can I have another baby and love it and be with it 24/7 while my daughter is thousands of miles away from me? What will my daughter feel and think? At the moment, my husband has been hurt wiht the way my daughter had acted towards him and he does not want to have anything to do with her. At the same time, my daughter asked me if in a couple of years, she can open up to him, wether she can come here and live with us then. I don't know what to do. Please advise. | |  | |
