I guess that this is my dilemma. After realizing how hurt our daughter will be from our divorce I said that I would keep this dance we have indefinitely. So we are basically separated but living together. If I were not out of town I would be home and the charade would continue. It would be unbearable if it not for the fact that we I would do anything for my daughter. Her happiness is most important. I have emotionally moved on. I have accepted that My wife emotionally has moved on. I am no longer mourning the loss of our marriage.
So how can I incorporate any rules when I have to keep daily contact with my 9 year old daughter. She is an innocent soul and I will do anything to keep her from being hurt.
