<<<I appreciate that so much, and, per his instructions, try to comfort her by reminding her of his words and efforts- that really does help
>>>I'm glad you can comfort her (your young girl). I just can't do that yet. I told my therapist today that not only did little daisy feel abandoned, but he had left her alone with ME. And I didn't want/didn't know how to comfort her. In fact, I was really upset with her for bringing this down on "us". And he just quietly said, "like your dad left you with your mom, who didn't know how to comfort you..."Was there ever a time when you couldn't do this? I guess I'm looking for hope that at some point I will stop wishing that she (and her pain) would just go away and I'll offer her comfort. I can't yet.
