Another new boyfriend

BM was married and divorced over the summer. BM moved SD out of town to be with the guy, so their split prompted BM & SD's move back home with maternal gma. Less than 4 months have passed and BM is "in a relationship."  BM has a  history of going from one guy to another, so I can't say that I'm really shocked - I don't really care what she does and I try very hard to ignore her - until SD starts having issues. Right now SD has been soo clingy with us every weekend since the beginning of Dec. DH worries how much attention she gets during the week. SD has one of us in  her sights from the minute we're up until bedtime - while DH showers, she'll   follow me around until he's out. We've spent the last month tripping over our little shadow! It completely breaks my heart, but at the same  time very frustrating!

Any advice?

    I don't think there is a whole lot you can do, other than give her as much love and attention possible during your time.

    Also, keep talking to her. With random men coming and going you want to make sure she feels safe and comfortable coming to you or her dad if she feels uncomfortable or upset about anything.

    This.

    Also, how old is SD? We have this same issue with K's mother different boyfriends frequently or the newest on/off relationship and over the last year or so I have been talking to K and my daughter quite a bit about self worth. I don't want either girl or any girl for that matter to feel that they are defined by a man in their life. We talk about good things to have in relationships/friendships, what kind of people we want in our lives, how we want to treat people and how we want to be treated.
