It's not better and only an idiot would tell you otherwise, it's different... that's all. But that doesn't mean it won't get better, it does. The reason I stayed with my wife so long was that I refused to put my kids through the pain of divorce, I just couldn't bare the thought of it. So, I know what you must feel when you see your DD hurting, so comfort her and give her all the love you can (and I know you are!)...that's all I can give you.
