Tears, I think you can find Cadet's postings at the top of the forum. It's one of the stickied items there if I recall correctly. If not, you can use the search item and search for Cadet's posts and you'll find the links in one of those.

What you describe about him and about you and your feelings strike me as completely normal for this forum. I wish it weren't so.

I'll caution you. You really can't make the generalization that many don't return. Many do. (Be careful what you wish for)

All in all, this may not be what you asked for or about you, but it is a chance for you to really work on you. Regardless of what he does. But until you get a chance to grieve and get that out of your system, it's a lot of ups and downs. Hang in there and learn to surf the waves as they come. You'll see what I mean.

P.S. Be careful to not setup a situation where you crave your daughter's confirmation that you're not crazy. Or anyone's, but her's specifically. It'll put her in a bad spot with regards to a relationship with her dad.
