Show her nice videos/pictures of Thailand of the nature, culture and how the people are a colleague wanted too but his wife didn't until she saw pictures of a friend and now she wants to show her khao yai or something

Dear Hans, a question like this cannot be answered with so little information. You want an answer to a question because of your circumstances, but you do not give us a glimpse into your personal situation. That makes it complicated.
What also strikes me is that you asked the question to yourself. You could also have formulated: "My daughter is having a hard time with my emigration to Thailand, she is angry/sad, and I don't know how to deal with that?" You attribute the cause of your pain to your daughter. But do you realize that you left, and not her! How does your daughter actually deal with your departure and emigration definitively from the Netherlands? And therefore also from her life? Do you ask yourself that question? She reacts very emotionally to your departure, and that cannot be dismissed with just a holiday.

It is quite different if your daughter is still in puberty, or already an adult woman. Is she a mother herself? Does she have brothers or sisters who deal with your departure from the Netherlands in the same or different ways? Are you divorced, retired, living together, remarried, with a much younger partner, m/f? Do you pay attention to your grandchildren, is it for them that she does not want to lose you in the Netherlands, does she feel abandoned, have you involved her (and any other children) in your emigration preparations, has she had a say in the whole thing, what is her mother, your ex,'s position in this? Are you a widower? Is that why she is having a hard time now that both parents are gone from her life? Does she know that it is painful to you that she is distant from you? Have you ever been back to the Netherlands to talk it over with her? Why does she have to come to you and not you to her?

After a long marriage I divorced my husband (2003), and have not been living with a new NL partner (f) in Thailand for very long. That has been a long process, in which I have fully involved my 3 children. Then it is all easier to accept, both my new living situation and my departure. In the meantime they are of course adults themselves, have partners and children of their own, their own lives, and we see each other again and again. The good understanding with them has always remained. If you want to maintain good relationships, you have to invest in them. Realize that by leaving NL, you are distancing yourself. If you cannot handle this, shorten it.

Dear Hans,
Indeed, that is a very difficult emotional matter.
I lost my 2 sons and still don't know why.
And no, you can't get that with "a good conversation"
What you say, living with it can be awful, but you have to move on.
There are times when you feel more affected, you grieve and you still have to keep going for yourself.

It could also be the other way around, then you don't see your father as much anymore.
In the course of your life you continue with that. Especially if you have a family yourself.
They could be phases, but they could just as easily be permanent.

I have spoken to more people with similar stories or even worse.
It can be a part of your life, it turns out for me too, not expecting it, but there it is.
There is nothing you can do but move on, with only a bad day here and there as reminders.
Writing this made me have a few wet eyes, it brings back those typical feelings
Hans, give it a place, accept and enjoy what you have now.
Good luck boy!
