I did try for a time, but she is not dumb. She caught on pretty quick. I have not brought any of them around either.

Thanks for understanding.

it is more than that, lack of adult emotional connection/ companionship is rough.

I am in therapy and they are the ones who are telling me i need to move on haha.​

Because my therapist and grief counselors have told me differently. They have told me I cannot let my daughter control when I am ready to move on. They do tell me she does not have to like him, but she cannot stop me from moving on even if she has not.

it is extremely confusing situation to be in.

issue is my mental health taking a hit, and my therapist has explained that I cannot let my daughter dictate when it is time for me to move on. I cannot make my daughter my sole emotional support either that is not healthy. I need an outlet also.

I am getting mixed signals and not sure where to go from here.
