Hey Babe, I Got Your Christmas Present Right Here.

[mishka422]

have I just never found "the one"?

That's just it Mike. "The one" would have worked hard to keep your M together because she would realize what she had and appreciate you.

I understand your frustration and how you go over and over the questions of "why" in your head. I can't see that waffling on having Caleigh more than 2 years ago would have done this to your M. Kim has her own reasons. You said it yourself, she has to be a victim. You are not ultimately "at fault" here.

Are there things you could have done differently? Sure. Couldn't we all?

Could Kim have shown appreciation for your efforts and genuinely worked for you M? Of course.

In the end, what Briget says is the absolute truth.

So just keep on doing what you can for that beautiful daughter and work on your happiness.You can't fix the ex.But you can make sure you have a safe place to fall for your daughter.
