Ian, thanks for dropping by my thread today. I see you are getting a lot of advice on a extremely important part of your life as a single dad. I too struggle with the issues of being the single parent of a daughter that was betrayed by her mother. I don't care what anyone says, girls are different and adolescent girls are really different. They need a female role model and when mom does a crappy job of it or even worse abadons that role it is h&ll on the child and us.
I don't have any words of wisdom, only words of support buddy. I know what you are going thru and to quote HS, "it sucks a bag of donkey d!cks."
