A little background: My mom just passed away a few months ago. That was my daughter’s grandmother. My mom was very close with my daughter, really like a second mother to her.

My sister, who is in her early 30’s, just got engaged to a great guy.

My daughter was acting unhappy on Christmas eve when the guy came with us to church and dinner. My daughter told me and my stepfather that she didn’t like my sister’s (her aunt’s) boyfriend. She said it’s because she felt like he was “taking Nana’s place.”

Since Christmas, my sister got engaged to this guy and they’re moving to another city together.

My sister is telling me that my daughter seems unhappy. My daughter is ok when we’re together alone but in front of my sister and her boyfriend, my daughter acts pissy.

My sister is pointing out that my daughter seems unhappy. She admits that she doesn’t see my daughter too often so she may be more sensitive to things than if she saw her more often.

Should I explain to my sister that my daughter tells me she doesn’t like her fiance?
