DEIDRE SAGT: Your daughter is angry you initially stood by your ex but sometimes it can be hard to believe what our children say, even adult children, because we don’t want to accept it.
You are not to blame for your ex’s behaviour.
Stay strong for your daughter and let her know you are there for her to talk to when she is ready.
