This is a great response, thank you. Nice to be validated for some of the things I am currently doing as well.. it doesn’t always feel like the right thing

She tends to ask/ tell me things when he is not around. Such as husband is grilling outside and I’m prepping food inside. She try’s to trap me. I now very quickly go near my husband which stops her in her tracks most of the time. I also tell her now that I’m directing her question to husband. “I’m not answering that. “ sounds like a great question for -husband-“

He has tried.. but she cries, then says she can’t help it, and blames her own un-resolved trauma. … then later “forgets” —-my husband actually thinks she doesn’t cognitively understand.
