TM, I am truly sorry it came down to the divorce. Yes, it does hurt and you will have days when there are reminders and those reminders will prick you like a thorn. You will bleed for just a little bit and then you'll pick yourself up once again. Experience the hurt, allow it to wash over you and then let it go.
I can understand the name change hurting a little bit.
You and your little girl will have a wonderful life together. She is "daddy's little girl" and you have so much to teach her.
TM, it will get better with time and you just never know what God has in store for you. Please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
