Wow, that's quite the story. When your daughter is older, she'll know that YOU were there for her. My ex never played a hand in raising our 2 kids; they actually were asking WHEN we were leaving before I actually did so. They're now 16-D and 14-S. My daughter only sees her dad occasionally with the court's blessing. He switched the verbal abuse over to her after we divorced and then said that she deserved it. So, kids know what's really up. My H has always been there for my daughter; she talks to him more than she does me. I hate that she's losing that also.
