is the way my daughter reacting to her jailed mother normal?
my wife and my daughter's mother is currently in jail for the next eight months for financial crimes. My daughter seems to be taking it fine. She is acting normally and doing her every day things. One time she did say it is kind of funny her mom is now being ordered around and being punished but I think she is just joking around. I think it is OK to crack a joke in a situation instead of being hysterical about it. But some say this behavior of hers is actually not normal. How?

It depends who the someones saying its not normal are. Is it just friends and neighbors and family or is it a professional counselor the family has been seeing. If a professional says it's not normal, find out w hat they recommend to help. I do not know if your daughter is school age or adult. Children have built in coping mechanisms when they are faced with traumatic things in childhood of which, having a parent jailed would be one, physical abuse, or neglect is others...there are many things that can be traumatic. Once the child grows to adult hood, the trauma buried inside will erupt in various problems that must be then as an adult handled with professional advice. If your daughter is an adult, you can only advise her to see a counselor if you see any questional behavior.
