It has been a disappointing couple of days. It has been 4 days of coughing, sore throats, and hurt feelings. MAC is bound and determined that I hate her and that everything I say is meant to get her in trouble. When Hubby and I told her that we did love her she said, "I know you do Dad but you can't prove that Mom does."
When your child is born you do everything you can to make them feel loved and cherished. When MAC and I were at her talk therapy session on Monday she said the same thing about my not loving her to the therapist. It makes me sad that she truly feels this way. This was the second time in a month that we have had this conversation in therapy.
The therapist told her that parents are only required to provide shelter, food, and clothing. When asked if I had given her more than that MAC glared at the therapist and said emphatically, "NO" Once again she asked the therapist to prove to her that I love her. When the therapist gave her several examples of other things that I had done (including taking her to therapy) MAC kept saying, "that doesn't count, she HAS to do that".
How do prove something to someone who doesn't really want to change their mind?
