Yea, only family I have is my daughter who lives several states away from me. I did need to open up & talk to her about understanding why I left her dad because his family (mine are all not alive) painted me as the bad guy & she needed to know my why without painting her dad as the bad guy....let her decide what she sees & understands. I could not be silent at that point.
The thing was too that I moved to a little town where I didn't know anyone. I didn't open up to people unless it came up in discussion or they asked because no one knew me either. Not afraid to share when part of a discussion but otherwise it is no one's business except when it came to therapy, then my T needed to see the big picture to understand me better (it worked well with her....best T ever)
