Rosada, your suggestions are so totally practical that I'm actually surprised none of it crossed my mind. Of course it should be up to my daughter-- she is the most important part of the equation.
Yes, I have told her. But I explained it very simply and to the point. She asked if S was her step dad the other day. I told her no, that S would have had to marry me and that he decided he didn't want to. She asked why he didn't want to anymore, and I told her the truth-- that he realized he doesn't love me. She was surprisingly adult about it, she hugged me and said she was sorry for me. But I told her it was ok, that I am fine and will be fine. She did not seem to take any of it personally, and so I did not feel the need to give her the ole "it has nothing to do with you" speech. She seemed to get that on her own.
I am going to talk to her about it again though, now, at your suggestion. I am going to explain that S might want to talk to her about it, and does she want to do that.
Thank you immeasurably.
So I asked 'How then should I approach discussing the situation with my daughter?' and I got
26.4.6 --> 34.
Honestly I have no idea how to interpret this. Line 4 makes sense in that I should make preparatory conversation so as to avoid some sort of drama later. And line 6 just seems to affirm that I will do fine. But really, 34 confuses me. Unless it is sort of a holistic assessment of how utilizing measures in keeping with the taming power of the great will inherently lead to the power of the great. Maybe its that simple.
Thoughts welcome.
Now I'm confused In the first quote you said you had already discussed it with her, and she was fine about it, so having already discussed it i'm not sure why you are asking 'how should i approach discussing the situation' ? or if she was fine aboutit why there would be a drama later.
