Hi Mellow
I hope you are ok.
I have a child who really looks up to her dad and tries to emulate him. I know she really misses him and sometimes she doesn’t want to be close to me.
I think it’s really important for me to see my kids as seperate people in themselves rather than part of me or part of him. At least that’s what I try to do anyway.
Don’t know if this helps but just my thoughts.
