I am married with 4 children, my oldest daughter is from a previous relationship. We are moving out of state b/c of my husbands job and will be closer to family. My daughter who's 10 chose to move in with her Dad. How can I prepare me and her for this huge transition and make sure she knows im not abandoning her and that I love her so very much?

ive never done this but i would
1 spend as much time with her b4 the move
2 talk to her and tell her how much you love her and that should she change her mind she is more than welcome to live with you
3 sort out holidays when she can stay with you mark up on a calender so she can look forward to it
4 if not already then buy her a mobile phone or set up email accounts ect so she can can contact you any time day or night
5 buy her a special leaving present a necklace locket or something with a piccie of you and her so she can look at it if she feels sad also maybe make a scrap book of you and her doing your fav things together
6 work with her dad on all of this making sure he will ring ect should your daughter need you
7 tell her you love her everystep of the way
8 good luck and hope all goes well for you and her xx
