Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 5-year-old daughter was asked by her teacher to write a letter to each member of her family to read during the holidays. Her letter to me said, "Dear mommy, come on. You could have done better than dad." FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, my daughter ran up to a librarian working in the kids section and screamed "MOMMY!" and hugged her. She looked at her and said "I'm not your mommy." My daughters reply: "I know. But you're better than mommy" FML
Today, I learned that my 11 year-old daughter wrote a love letter to her teacher. Cute, right? It was an incredibly graphic letter where she asked him to "abduct her and chain her up in his basement." I now must find her a new school and a therapist. FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, after spending time with my daughter and painting her nails she gives me a hug and says, "Mommy I love you, but I love daddy much better!" FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, as I was picking up my 7 year-old daughter at my ex-husband's house, my daughter started crying saying that she wanted to stay with Daddy forever. I asked why. She said her stepmom was a better mommy. Apparently, the woman who broke up my marriage is now a better "Mommy." FML
Today, my stepdaughter called me "Dad" for the first time. It was quite an emotional moment, until I realised she was just recording my reaction for a stupid TikTok, and didn’t really mean it. She’s pulled some pranks before, but this time I’m done with her, she can fuck right off from now on. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML

What if the kid's mum is actually dead? There would almost certainly be truth in what she was saying then - and a five year old is probably too young to understand that her dad could miss her mum and still be in love with and happily married to the OP...

that is true. i married a widower with a young daughter. the first few years were difficult on us, because he felt like he was betraying his late wife. we stuck it out and now we are coming up on eight years and very happy. I know part of his heart is always my (step)daughers mothers, but i also know he loves me with everything he has in him. there are no degrees of love. You either love someone or you dont. there is no loving this person this much and this person this much.

you were teaching her how to read and write, and she's able to produce such an elaborate sentence already?

It's ok. She's only five & obviously not over the divorce (:

That's sucks! but keep in mind that she is just a kid and if you're actually worried then you must have known, at least unconsciously, that something is wrong in your relationship
