Thanks MRBond, I don't think I should have to force him to be a father either. But he needs to see what he is missing. And if he doesn't miss it, then that's his loss and he doesn't deserve to be with me or our daughter. I haven't been relying on him to get out on my own. My daughter is in school so no time for anything week nights. On the weekends, I ask my sister or mom if I need to do anything. I just make sure to let him see or talk to D when he wants to, as I will never keep him from her or vice versa. Two therapists I have spoken to (my own and a child therapist for my D) have said he is either going to "wake up" and come back or disappear completely from my D's life. I need to prepare for the latter unfortunately even tho I hope the first is what happens.
