not sure how I should take her letting me see her kid again after getting back togeth

[jerrygordon3]

So the GF and I met september 2014, and dated for a year. after 8 months i met her kid. I loved her kid but things got really rocky and come august about 11 months after dating she stopped letting me see her kid. September 2015 we broke up.

 

her kid has had her grandpa from both sides leave her. and her dad abandoned her too for the most part.

 

in the beginning of november 2015 the gF and I got back together but she was really distant and didn't want to see me exclusively and kept sort of dating around lightly. We started getting serious again about two months ago though, and today she let me see her daughter at starbucks.. It's the first time in 6 months that I've seen her kid whom Im crazy about.

 

She is a really good mom these days and spends every night at home with her kid which is hard... and today when we met up she said her kid just thinks we are friends... which I KIND OF TOOK if someone is like " i love you, but I tell everyone that".. like heres my kid again, but it's not a big deal cause we are just friends? or am I reading into this.. It was a huge sign that things are moving forward for ME, but does that mean its a big sign of us moving forward for HER ( GF)?

 

Her child is 5 years old. Pretty young and impressionable and has said things like " Jerry isn't my new daddy is he? My daddy is still Danny right?" I can understand how the protective measure of "just friends" is important, but it's still a huge deal that Im seeing her kid again right?

What was the issues in the break up and can those really be fixed or will you end it 6 months from now?

but we aren't going to just split. we worked through things and both want it to work.
