Hello all,About 2 weeks ago I posted a question about my relationship with my daughter You can read it here where I discussed some issues with some psychological issues and infantilizing my daughter due to fears of losing my baby.I had started to sense that things were not right in my family situation and decided that it was time to do something about it. This past week I started attending therapy where I discussed my fears and issues with my therapist. This along with the responses from the members of this community helped me realize that my efforts to keep my daughter as my baby were actually harming both her and I.I decided that it was time to get it together and stop living in this toxic place where neither she nor I could grow as individuals. I sat down with her and talked about how things were going to change. I told her it was no longer appropriate for her to have bottles, pacis or diapers. She is very enthusiastic about being a big girl and so far this week she has done very well with not having either her bottle or pacifier, we have since moved onto these cups that I found that have plastic straws and we told her that her baby stuff was taken away by the baby fairy.Last Monday we also transitioned from pampers to pull ups and have started to explore potty training. She's been having a little trouble with accidents but is so far very enthusiastic about wearing panties soon. I told her that once she was able to reamin accident free for a month we could get her some panties.I wanted to thank all the people who helped me snap out of the dark and toxic place that I was in and helped both me and my daughter grow. I know we still have a long way to go but I feel like things are definitely much better between us. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2uO5rK3
