Hi. My husband and I separated in November but until a month or so ago, it has remained amicable and uncomplicated, so much so we had a normal Christmas and he remained living at the house until January. My daughter is 2 and a half and until this week, hasn’t shown any signs of emotional upset. However, yesterday she was very upset all day and told me she felt ‘sad’, ‘upset’ and ‘lonely’ – a word that took me aback and I have never heard her say. Myself, family and her dad have always been very careful about what we say around her. Those are all things I feel, but yesterday she voiced. However much I want her to learn emotions and be open to voicing them to me, I’m concerned this has affected her way more than we estimated. I just wondered if anyone had any similar experiences or would know how best to deal with this? Thanks in advance!
