My daughter is 4 and asks questions about her dad. He is not dead he is just not here. I did marry another person and then we divorced so she knows that he is not her dad now. How do I explain with to her with the help of the bible. She is really hurt and I need some way of explaining. Thank You - | ||||||

I would have to say Searcher and John provided some very good and sound wisdom to your very difficult problem. The only thing I could add would be to respond to your daughter with as simple as an answer as you can get away with. You might compare this strategy to explaining sex or the birds and the bees to a child. Usually a four year old is not able to understand all the complexities of a human relationship and especially why they break up. BUT I too would encourage you not to lie to your daughter as kids are so sharp and remember far more than we think. And most importantly do try to get some advice/guidance from someone who has experience with counseling. IF they don't have specific experience with this kind of difficulty, breaking up of parents, maybe they can refer you to someone who has dealt with this successfully and you can seek their input. The most important and powerful ingredient you already have and that is the genuine love for your daughter and her well being. And finally, Welcome to the Forum. We're all looking forward to having you in our family of God's children. God bless, Inquisitor |
