I do have to look at her contacting me w/ anything that D does as well as looking to me when she is in need of help as definite signs that she does want me involved deeply in the raising of our D. I can only hope this will get better as D ages.
I'll need to sell the house to eliminate the debt I'm wracking up from this D, but I'm holding out the slightest bit of hope that we'll be able to figure things out once custody is established. At that point, I don't think she'll have too much to be angry at me about and then my DBing may actually have a longer lasting effect than it does now.
My L wants to have her discuss on the record how she can claim that I've sexually assaulted her (or forcibly raped her, as her mother put it) and how she can say she fears me yet hasn't filed any charges ever and she still reaches out to me to help her care for our D. If she did believe these things, she wouldn't allow me to have anything to do w/ her or our D.
The deposition should help my case a lot. Also, if I don't dispute her charges, then I'll be guilty in the court of public opinion and that will be damaging to my D when she grows up and starts to ask questions.
