Mk, it seems to me you are more assertive now than when you first posted. This is a good thing. You have to look to your interests, as no one else will.

Decide what is important to you, pick your battles and stand your ground. Do this from the position of personal integrity, what is personally right for you, your daughter and your relationship with her. You may have to compromise occasionally, but do not sacrifice.

Your W decided to end the partnership. You are not making her suffer when you stand for yourself, your daughter, and the relationship a father has with his children so long as you do not have malice or spite in your heart. She is suffering by the consequence of the decision she made.

It is easy for people outside of the sitch to give blunt hard advice. The have little to no emotional involvement and cannot perceive the subtleties of the rollercoaster ride we are all on
