I can’t see my daddy!!

[BabyDaisy81]

Daddy and I are in a LDR and since the state borders in Australia have closed I can’t go see him.. I had to cancel my travel plans and it’s been several months since we’ve been together.. He’s supporting me through it but I feel so sad.. I just want to curl up with him and our stuffies and watch cartoons!! I want warm chocolate milk and biskies with him, to be snuggy with him.. Last time we saw each other I was in hospital and couldn’t move without a lot of help and we were scared it was permanent.. Am going insane!!

 

How are you LDRs all coping?? What do you do to keep sane and connected??

I totally feel your pain >.< My Daddy and i are LDR too. It sucks. The whole of the UK is pretty much shut down for another 3 weeks. It feels like an eternity :/  He's working from home, the same as everybody else, so we talk on and off all day, and we share an online journal, so he can keep a close eye on how im doing mentally and emotionally. So far, it hasn't been so bad, but i imagine its gonna get  lot worse. Keeping up with the communication, and just making time for each other. You guys can video chat, or voice chat over skype or something? Send random pictures through out the day of what you're doing, or if you go out somewhere and see something pretty, take a picture and send it to him, Including him in your day is a good way of keeping that "closeness" when the distance seems too much. Keep positive and remember this isn't forever ...

I'm in a new relationship with my daddy and it's LDR. And today was so bad, I threw a right bratty tantrum on him and then broke down crying. It go so much for me. I need to be able to connect via touch sometimes and the lockdown in the UK is sending my emotions haywire. But I told him what was going on and he has be really supportive through it. Talking sense with we, giving me extra structure to my day.

 

We constantly chat, but when he's working from home he can't really so I go most of the day time without texting him. However he gets bombarded when he finishes with what I have been doing, and what I'm doing for the rest of the night and like I have loads of questions for him.

 

I keep him updated and include him on what I'm doing and what he is doing. I have drawn him pictures of what we talk about. And I am in the process of writing him a letter that I'm going to post, just for something different.

 

A LDR is hard at the best of times, but with the restrictions going on it just makes it harder. But it is what is needed and when it's all over we can see them again and make up for lost time.

Many thanks xoxo When this is over I have free plane tickets and accommodation owed to me so I’ll be like a rat up a drainpipe when they open the borders..

Video chat and phone calls, WhatsApp, selfies, they’re keeping us connected but it’s the need for physical closeness that’s eating at us..

Maybe ask your Daddy to send you something of his, like a shirt or something, that smells like him and reminds you of him, and you do the same in return? Having something physical of his, that can trigger memory and emotion, and maybe trigger that feeling of being together?  And then when times up, you can hand it back to him in person <3

I can’t see my daddy either! I live in Europe, he lives in UK and I’m really worried about how long this is going to take until we can travel safely.

It’s really difficult. Normally we visit each other every 3 weeks but it’s been 6 weeks from his last visit. We were supposed to meet in 10 days for my birthday but that’s been cancelled and I’m going to be without him on my birthday

I know LDR can be rough, but just know this won't last forever. Everyday that goes by you're getting a day closer to seeing him. Best of luck<3
