I hope the family T helps bring healing with you and your daughter.

I am a grown woman and I don't need my H to go to therapy with me and my daughter, just like I don't need him to carry out the garbage or mow the lawn. My daughter and I can work on our problems ourselves.

My adult self is so proud of you for standing up for yourself, and making it clear what you need/want out of the family T relationship.

My teenage self had a slightly different reaction...having been a child of divorced parents. Whenever you are ready, please ask your daughter what she wants, and whether she would want H to join in the therapy session. It is not all about what you need, but also about what your daughter needs.

I know that your relationship with H is over, but for your daughter it is not. H will always be her father, and it is *very* difficult to be a child caught between the bad feelings of two parents.

(Please forgive me if I am reading my own situation into yours.)



I wish you and your daughter healing, and I am thrilled you are taking that step!
