Being a caring person can pull you in lots of directions.
Ask yourself, what is most important? Set your boundaries. If you are consistent in your actions, others trust where they stand with you.
Your daughter is in a fragile state.. that she has to learn what it takes to heal. You are a crucial part of her recovery. Imagine what she sees.. I almost lost my daddy when mommy dropped the bomb; I'm losing my family, I'm losing my mommy to a married man; now daddy cares more about someone else other than me. I am alone.
I figure if you trust and respect where other people are coming from, they should do the same in kind. Set your boundaries, be consistent.. and remember, the woman in your life is an adult too.
