Once in awhile, friends ask, "How are the girls doing?" With the divorce, of course. And that is a difficult question to answer.
i do not think their difficulties with it will be overt. A and i think we're doing a good job being respectful of one another so as to minimize damage, but who can tell what lay ahead for them. Yesterday, a co-worker implied that our 4 year old would do the best because she would have little memory of A and i together. That in itself is sad.
Last weekend, when we were away in Vermont, i was telling C****** that we need to go pick up a friend who would accompany us for dinner. She then asked, "Where will she sit?"
"In the front with me," i replied.
Her reply blindsided me, as we were no where near the car.
"But that's where mommy sits!" she answered. And i had to remind her that mommy doesn't sit there anymore.
