They're doing remarkably, considering. They're so resilient. They have great attitudes. My daughter went through an angry stage for a while, but has dealt with it beautifully. She felt so betrayed by my ex because of the way he treated me and our family. One thing she did, which I thought was so great, was to have a little "ceremony" with me where she and I took jewelry that my ex had given us on our wedding day and we went to the lake in our neighborhood and threw it in. After that, she was just fine -- she needed that physical expression of release.
My youngest is having a hard time. I think that due to her age, this has been a big hurdle for her to get over. Plus she has nightmares about my ex coming to get her. I'm seeing a child psychologist for coaching assistance on how to help her. Things are gradually getting better, but we're not there yet.
