Ya.. I mentioned to him about Emotional Parentification .. he read the article I sent.. and we're now both trying to be more mindful of this.

My post is really about what's already taken place we can't take back. I've noticed more of a push back than dad because I've always had a solid and good rapport with her. Her preschool teacher commented about this, as well. I found she listened to me quite well but often struggled with dad. Now I'm starting to get more of this same resistance. It's like she views me differently.

I want to repair what we had. She's still a great little girl.. is good with her little sister.. and takes to follow through quite well. But, I know things haven't been easy for her, either.
