Ugh! Well, I am MORE THAN 100% committed to taking care of DD. That will never change. I'm just disgusted with this whole thing! But, I do appreciate your input. I can't rely on him, so I have to figure things out on my own and having a back up plan is a smart thing to do.
Oh yes...I have more important things to worry about - like my beautiful DD and having fun while learning to be the best me I can be!
Indeed you do. And it sounds like you're on the right track.
You will look back at this time in your life and wonder how you got through it. But your DD will remember the parent that was there for her, through thick and thin.
That karma always works out in the end -- my friend's stepson (call him "Nick") actually told his biological father at 15 that he didn't want anything to do with him any more, because he was an abusive, selfish, self-loathing man. As far as I know, Nick never talked to his father again; his father died in a boating accident a year ago.
