For me, as a young child, it was 'The Fantasy'. As long as I had my mom in the picture, all was right in the world. Not great logic for a child, but the simplest one. My dad and step mom ended up bitter about my mom because I adored her so much, even though I rarely saw her.

Your daughter knows who is there for her everyday for any and everything, and in a way, this gives her security to want the whole fantasy. You've actually helped her to keep loving her mother, and when she is old enough to truly understand and accept the reality, it will be easier to still like her mom.

Hang in there, knowing you are a great parent, very open and giving. Trust in your relationship with your daughter.
