This does sound wonderful.

It is always nice to have a little girl in your life who loves and cares for you. You're very Lucky in this regard. I also applaud your selfless desire to want to take care of her and make her happy.

I read a reply to you below from Dante that I agreed with. You can never be sure if the bond that is growing between you is because of your feelings for each other, or because of the situation of neglect with her mom. Children desire two things above all else from adults, love and attention. Her mom provides her with neither of these things, but you do.

Children are drawn to us for a reason, we treat them with respect and courtesy. We care about what they think and feel. We do not ignore them or belittle them. We meet their needs for attention and affection, and we make them feel happy, wanted and special. This is what draws your lgf to you, but you must be cautious. Children who are neglected and not shown enough love and attention will latch unto someone who gives them what they're not getting at home. Subconsciously she may be looking for another parental figure in her life.

Another issue to consider, which Dante also raised, is how the mother may react to all this. She is clearly an unstable person, but in one of her sober moments, she may notice the attention you are showing her daughter and take actions to prevent it. It is also important to realize that you are not a parent or guardian to this girl, and her mother could move away with her at any time, or simply stop the girl from spending time alone with you. We know that the antis would consider your actions toward this girl to be grooming. That isn't true, because we know you are not doing any of this to have a sexual relationship with the girl. You're doing it because you love girls and want to take care of them. If only the rest of society could understand this.

About your "talk" with her, I would recommend against saying more words about the situation with her. To a girl her age, actions speak louder than words. Just continue to show her that you care about her and enjoy her company. Keep letting her know that she is important to you, and that she is a good, special person. Let her make her own determinations about what your relationship is and what it means to her. She does not need to verbalize this. I don't think it needs to be said that you should not do anything sexual with this girl at all, you already seem to know this.

If it were me, I would keep doing what you are doing now. Keep showing her the love and attention she needs, as well as giving her food when she needs it. Everything you are doing exemplifies what a Girl Lover is, acting in the best interest of the girl and her well being. I thank you for being there for this poor, neglected girl.

Laterz.
