Q: My 6 year old is in therapy right now...her dad is abusive and so therapy is working for her. However, we were laying together watching tv and she asked me if I was having a baby...and I told her no, but it was like she didn't believe me. She kept asking questions, so I asked her if she thought I had gained weight, but she said no. She then asked if she could feel, and I said yes, but there's no baby. She put her hand on my stomach, then she turned away from me like she was upset. Does she want a sibling or is she just going through something that I am not understanding right now? I am not sure what's going on. Any suggestions? No she's not in that situation. We both are out of that and are in therapy. And no I am not with him or anyone else. I don't think that I am ready to be with anyone, or have anyone around her at this point. We both need to get healthy.
A: I hope you meant WAS abusive and not IS! There is no reason for her to still be in that situation! Are you with someone else or her father? Because if you are with him I would not have another child. Maybe she saw someone who was pregnant or one of her friends may have a pregnant mom and the friend is prob getting excited about having a sister/brother. I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that she is in therapy... she's just a curious 6 year old.
