I have been in my current relationship for 9 months. Previouisly my relationship was 4 years in which we had a child. since then her father hasn't seen or talked to her in 6 months. Now when she starts to get close to my boyfriend she takes three steps back. But if she meets someone new she walk with them and hold their hand and she won't do this with my boyfriend. This upsets him and I've told him maybe she's just afraid to get close with himbecause she's afraid he will leave her too. Please help me try to understand this better. (she's only 5 years old) (link)

My parents divorced when I was 4, and I went into depression. She will talk and things with strangers because she knows that she won't get too close where they might leave her. She IS scared that your boyfriend will leave. Tell him that she needs time, and then talk to your little girl, and let her know that her daddy didn't mean to hurt her, and that your boyfriend doesn't want to hurt her and it's okay to get close. Also let your boyfriend know she is sensitive. Then, try to get her father to see her. It's hard not seeing your father. My dad moved to Connecticut and I saw him 2 times a year. It's hard on kids, because they don't understand the concept of one parent, when everyone else seems to have 2. Just give her time, she'll come around. After all, she is only 5. Trust me, I was the same way with my dad's girlfriend.
