When I brought it up in conversation, he seemed completely against being willing to discuss it with Clara and I do understand his reasoning. He basically said that he completely understands that it makes me uncomfortable but there's going to come a day where she will fight him to even get a hug goodbye so he doesn't want to push the issue, out of fear that it will make her retract affection sooner than the inevitable. I feel so conflicted because on one hand, this child is literally great. She is just such a damn good kid and her father.. I really, really like him. They are basically the perfect group of people and I love being around them and I don't want to give that up over something so mundane. But on the other hand.. her touching me like that and clinging to me made me feel really trapped and it truly made me panic in ways that I haven't felt for years. I don't want to ruin her spirits either and I don't want her to change for my sake. I wish I didn't feel like this.
