Journal Entry for December 24, 2007 Mood
Monday, December 24, 2007

 

 My soon to be ex-husband and I were married for 17 years and I have a 5 year old daughter.

My ex-husband moved out 1 month ago.  I have noticed some behavior from My daughter that i am concerned about.  She is a child that does not like to verbally communicate.  She stated that she is sad, when i ask her what she is sad about she will state that she cannot tell me and that I cannot fix the problem. 

I have asked her if she is sad that her Dad has moved out she will reply she is not.  She has asked me the question  several times what happens when a person heart stops beating and I stated that the person dies.  She cried and asked me alot of questions about death.  I answered every question as truthfully as possible for a 5 year old. 

I am sure that her sadness and questions about death is related to my divorice.

 

Has any other parent seen this behavior and if so what did you do?
