Toast - burnt or just right

Has anyone had to tell their daughter about the divorce? I should say young daughter? And more importantly for any dads, has your daughter "favored " mommy in the split?

I decided not to go the route of blame and who did what right now at her young age of 7.....talked to a therapist about it & I don't want to go there right now. Just that we have decided to D.

My issue is I am so concerned about her "siding' with mommy and that I will be the bad guy. I know I need to think positively and have been working on it as well as detaching. I just can't bear to think that since I am the one leaving the residence and where her friends are that this will be a nightmare for me (and her)

I am going to do my best to make the new place "hers and mine" but hoping for some good advice on keeping my daughter "neutral". Lately...she sees me as a bit of the bad guy for whatever vibe she is getting from my stbx and me.

Ugh...
