Hey Marco,
That is just too funny with the youngest ones! Mariah is actually going to be ok, believe it or not. I say that because what she is doing is very typical, it really is. Her age is the biggest issue. I know at times I mention my book, but I am going to again, because I have writings from family members, and in there is a writing that is from a daughter that was a few yrs old than your daughter when her parent transitioned and divorced her mom, etc. They were very close...the rebellion came, the attitude, the emotions of hate etc. But the outcome....I will let you read her words for yourself. She will take you through the beginning and every emotion she had, her writing is just brilliant!
The reason that I have the final chapter the voices of the family members is because my daughter pointed out to me, Dad you forgot the kids! So I at the very end located the kids ( many are now college grads and older from when I started) and it was amazing, the ex spouses, current spouses, parents and children all responded and spoke out in hope to help other kids and family members. There experience is very different than ours, and I could not give justice to their voices, so I gave them the floor, and man is there so much they have to offer. Your daughter really is going to be ok, the main thing I want to get through is there is a reason for hope! It is just so very painful right now, but Marco, it is NOT hopeless, so hang in there!
Peace,
Taylor
