Hoosier, no words of wisdom, just to let you know I am reading and feeling your pain. I had a similar "man" in my life a few years ago now. Old b/f from 35 + years ago, he heard about my D got in touch-light the blue touch paper and stand well back-like all those years we had never been apart. It came to nothing BUT I am so glad it happened showed me I could still feel and deeply at that. I have been alone now coming into my 10th year!! so be kind to yourself, for some of us it takes a very long time. You will make it through and so will your daughter. Getting ready to go party but couldn't let this post go unanswered. Keep reaching out, exploring new avenues and growing. All my very best wishes to you for 2010. Good things will happen when you least expect them. Take care.
