As the child of a broken home, I came to this realization. I once asked my mom exactly why they divorced and she said that it was a private matter. I responded, “Fine. But the way you two handled it greatly affected me.” My son’s biological father walked away when I was 4 months pregnant. He has always asked questions and I have always responded with age-appropriate honesty. He’s 10 now and I asked, “Do you think you want to meet him?” He said, “Why? He’s done nothing for me.” Talking honestly with your daughter about all of it will provide answers that will guide you. You are not obligated to provide them anything.
