Re: i miss my daughter

Hey @tobilly91110088

 

I can't imagine how difficult your situation must feel right now. It is incredibly difficult to not be able to share and communicate with those we are closest to. I think your idea to give your daughter some time and space is not a bad plan at all, as we all sometimes need a little space to be able to process our thoughts and feelings about a given issue. As long as your daughter knows that you love her and will support her, I am sure there is a chance that she will want to reconnect with you in the future.

 

I just wanted to check in with you, how are you coping at the moment? Sometimes in periods of great stress like this, we can forget to take care of ourselves. I was wondering if you had any supports or contacts you could lean on?
