As parents, we want our kid’s wedding day to be perfect, but sometimes things take a dramatic turn beyond our control. Allie, a loving mom, had simply requested that her husband’s wife skip their daughter’s wedding, but the stepmom showed up anyway, leading to the event being ruined. However, Allie intervened to save her daughter’s day, and she later wrote to us to share her story.
Foster an environment where your daughter feels comfortable expressing her feelings about her father and Tara. Have open and honest conversations with her about her emotions and how she can process them constructively.This could involve encouraging her to write a letter or journal about her feelings, or seeking the help of a therapist to navigate her emotions and the impact of her father’s actions on her self-esteem and relationship with him.
