Oh sweetie, couldn't read and not reply. Big hugs to you lovely, and you are by no means doing a crappy job as a parent! You're a supermum in my eyes Would it help if you did a few things where you could make your DD2 feel all grown up and independent and maybe she would not be so clingy? Dunno hun, I'm not speaking from experience, just a thought Hope it gets better for all of you soon, big hugs
