I have yet to tell my daughter about her sister. I want to so bad, but I keep chickening out.
About 2 weeks ago, we had a talk while driving in the car. I have been seriously dating a loving man for about 3 1/2 years now. My daughter really likes him, but sometimes holds him at arms length. I started to talk to her about him, and I brought up the issue of her father. It went very well. She had a few questions, but not much. Then she started to get upset. The kind of upset where tears were flowing down her face, but no crying. I had to pry out of her what was wrong. When she finally let go, all she said was,
"it just never seems like you are going to get married."
after that I explained that it will happen and I am happy. That changed everything. She is now allowing herself to get alot closer to my boyfriend. She must be scared to get too close.
To make a long story short, I now understand she needed to talk talk about where she came from in order to live. I know I must tell her about her sister. I am planning of telling her tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you guys for everything.
