My ex's daughter.

[b_blessed_07]

Hello you guys. I have a question and I really need some input on it well you all know that I'm a preschool teacher. And for the last 2 weeks or so I have been a little bit nervous to go into work and it's the reason why, my ex's daughter goes there. And I'm not ready to see my ex because of how we broke up on bad terms. I cannot lose out on money because of my nervousness how do I handle this and be strong at the same time?? Please help!! Thank you.

Hello, just speak and keep it moving!!! It's okay to still be upset, but it's a place of business and you don't want to cause attention to yourself!!!

Hello

When you are at School you are there in a professional capacity and you are a teacher so therefore even though your ex's Daughter is there you act towards her like you would any other pupil and as for him if there is no need to acknowledge him then just go about your business , like anxiety the less you give this situation any importance the less it will seem a fear that you should feel anxious about and in time you won't give it a second thought

I personally have to say that I know you apologised for your language in your post and I totally get when we are upset it is a way to express ourselves but I personally did fine it offensive and I wonder if you have read the Community Guidelines to the right hand side of the page ?

One which I think is a good idea so as not to offend but we still all get the picture of what someone is saying is

Well, none of us like to see our ex anywhere, and maybe he doesn't really want to see you either. But it is just time to put on your big girl clothes, drop the bad language and focus on your job. Or consider transferring to another school. Be thankful your ex and you do not have children together. His daughter won't be going to your school forever; you can take the high road and just outlast him. Focusing on your job will help rob your anxiety of the energy it needs to thrive. Isn't there some accommodation where you do not need to be the person who escorts the little girl to her father when he picks her up, takes her home or when there is a parent-teacher conference, etc. You're a intelligent, educated woman.. Enjoy the little girl while you can. Best wishes in what ever you decide to do. Exs are not fun. Have one of those, not fun at all.
