For those with a WAS...How do you cope?

[courts0818]

I think I'm having a hard time bc DD keeps asking about daddy. Now that she's almost 3.5 she is really noticing that he's not here.

She's been saying this stuff over and over - "where's daddy?" "when will daddy be here?" "I wanna see daddy."

It's so frustrating and I'm sick of answering questions that are a direct result of his crappy behavior. And every time I try to talk to him about it - he jokes around - saying stuff like, "See, I'm the favorite." I'm sure he's joking bc he knows what he's doing is hurting her. That's his immature way of coping with it.

I'm always stuck in the middle and he just walks away not facing things. I'm left to answer the ?s and do the work.

What do I do? I wanna text him each time she asks so he gets the picture and realizes how much she's asking for him. But, that doesn't seem productive and it will probably come across as pursuing.

Ahhhhh....he needs to be accountable to her.
