try not to have your little one see you upset, it can be hard to hide it from her but she will be fine as long as she sees her mommy fine. Find a good friend to talk to when you feel bad. My little girl didnt' mind much when we D'd, at this age they are very attached to us so it may not be as hard as if you had an older child. It does make me mad that he just wants to be a lazy arse dad and give you such a lame excuse as for why he would cut contact with her... as much as a looser as he is she will always have a place in her heart for him... I hope he grows a spine at least for his daughter and tries to be a father to her.
I think you put up with enough, and I agree with you 100%, you dont' need that grief, that negative cloud above you, you will do much much better.
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
