The date you went on just hid the pain. After she's gone, the drama is still going to be there.

Are you really 32 years old? You talk like you're 18.

And why would you go to your L to find a C? Do it yourself. If you're going to IC, then ask your C.

It seems like you're taking the easy way out for everything even in the case of your D. Rather than talking to your D or figuring out how you would work out custody for her, you go out on your date.

My D is 3 too and she's plenty aware of what's going on. You're just ignoring her. Honestly it's no wonder your W is going for full custody. You act like you don't have a clue. Oh I'm sure you're a good "dad" for taking her out for ice cream and everything, but you need to start considering her overall welfare.

Have you thought enough about HER needs? I hate to say it, but your W has the right idea. She has made this all about her and your D. You are the one who refuses to grow up and take personal resposibility.

You're giving up your D's life for a little side action to take care of your needs. Oh poor you. Grow up. Did you even ask the .

I didn't think this post would end up being so harsh, but you are using your D at your own convenience just like you W. You are putting YOUR needs before hers. My D is the same age as yours and when I see kids being tossed to the wind like you're doing, it ticks me off.
