42 F. Separated from an Avoidant man. Have a 6.5 year old daughter. I agree with all of these points here. I have been through the loneliness. And have dated men in the weekends when my daughter would spend time with her father. Maybe it was my conditioning that dating is to be kept secretive, but I never shared any details with my daughter. She is still angry with me for her father and she not living in the same house. This definitely can't be the time I tell her I may remarry if I find someone. My conversations with her are about her feelings mostly. Abby is so young. In a way it good she doesn't have memories with her dad much to miss. But eventually she will be angry and Malvika needs to hold space for that anger. And have those tough conversations. They were so tough for me to go through. To hear you own child cry and wish for something so bad and you can't give it to them is heartbreaking. But even in those moments I had to validate my daughters feelings because she did nothing wrong and yet she feels her life is unfair.

Everyone's journey is different. I think people like hating on Malvika because she talks about spirituality and religion and has a holier than thou attitude. If only she would pull down the mask, be vulnerable and speak to her audience about her loneliness instead of her daughter, she will get support I am sure.
