Hi. PPP. Just wondering if anyone knows what I can say to get my daughter to stop asking for her dad constantly. Of course I am not annoyed at her for asking, she is clearly missing him and confused like any young child would be but I dont know how to help her. My husband and I split 4 months a go (I threw him out after discovering an affair) but even before that he had never really bonded with our daughter. He visited her initially but over the weeks he kept letting her down more and more, or turning up to just sit on his phone and ignore her etc. Then he stopped visiting and hasn’t made any contact at all since 2nd Sept and I’m certainly not going to chase him. Since she stopped seeing him my daughter’s behaviour actually improved a lot and she has been so understanding (very intelligent for her age). I have always tried to reassure her that her daddy loves her and boost her confidence by telling her how amazing she is. When this all began she initally went through a stage of making me constantly promise I wasn’t going to leave her and she got really clingy. Now she suddenly the last 2 weeks has started saying she misses daddy or wants her daddy constantly, like 20 plus times a day. I dont know what to say anymore as I cant lie and say she will see him soon. I just say something like ‘I know princess but mummy is here lets have a big cuddle’. But it’s getting more and more every day. Also she keeps getting uncontrollably upset and angry over tiny things then telling me after it’s because she misses her daddy so much. How long will it be until she stops asking? Is it all normal? I just hate seeing her so hurt by someone who is meant to be her dad and protect her from being hurt! Any advice appreciated. Thanks
