Each and every one of my kids have been thru hell in their own way.my ex walked away five years ago.Without a father I have had my kids suffer thru depression,drugs,one spent a year and a half in jail.
I hate to say it but I was not enough to keep my sons out of trouble.My ex didn't do his part.I was willing to coparent.but he just plain walked away.My kids haven't seen him in almost five years.They talk to him a few times a year.
You are the first example of what a man is to your daughter.Like it or not if you want your daughter to one day marry a good man then you have to be that example.If not then the media and the men your ex brings in and out of her life will be.
I don't think you can co parent without contact.I 'm sure it's easier.But damn it when it comes to kids you don't get to take the easy way out.
I hate that we are all in this.But well we are.So we suck it up and make it work the best we can.
I don't know your sitch.But you have a three year old daughter who has a daddy.Your the only one she has.So you gotta do it.Even if you don't like her mother right now.
Had I set aside my anger before my ex moved 2000 miles away maybe he would have been a better father.Though sometimes I doubt that.
