Somewhere down the line all this is going to fall into place if you keep doing the work and you'll realize that you are enough. You'll find that living alone doesn't have to be lonely, that a good partner is great but no partner is better than a lousy partner.
I hear your fears but one of the big things we learn in this process is I only control me and worrying about what others are or are not doing only wastes time. Time better spent on living your life and living it well.
And this: Still, I have so much fear about her having a childhood that is like mine was. Again, you only have control of your piece but that's a lot to a 7 year old. I'm sure that you've already done more than your parents did. Am I right?
Let go of the fear of what her childhood will be like and do what you know you need to do.
Part of that is unattaching your emotional cart from his horse.
Sometimes I think our biggest fear is that we'll discover we really are OK without them.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
