Thanks Sue - Yes I'm taking it one day at a time. Thankyou for telling me my daughter is lucky to have me that is something I have to keep telling myself. I just wish I was a stronger person and was not hurt so much by my H and let him affect my moods around my D. I still fight with focusing on her when I am with her and not letting my mind wander to H and the future. But as time goes by I am getting on the right track. She always comes first. Yes, our spouses who walk away will regret their time lost with their kids if not soon maybe it will hit them someday when they look at how they are growing and how little precious time we really have them with us before they leave the nest.Thats wonderful your H stayed home with your D. Yes - your right alot will be lost if he does not come to his senses because she is so young and she needs her father now. You hang in their too - Ive been reading your story as well - Oh wish me luck on Monday - I will be returning to the work force after being a SAHM for close to 7 years - I'm terrified and excited at the same time! But I am looking forward to not being financially dep on H!!!
