It's not your fault, and it wasn't my fault, that our mutual spouses ran off but ... we sure can spend a lot of time second guessing ourselves .... I think there is some danger in DB in that it can make you feel like it's all a matter of us doing just the right thing when ... really ... quite often it's all about some emotional/mental/philosophical journey that our spouses have to go through.
BTW, some time ago I mentioned in your thread that I was a step father. I want to clarify that I didn't say to be defensive. I believe that your WH did love your D and meant all he said to her -- and I hold him to the exact same standard as if he was the biological father. And, if he steps up to that, I believe he did and will enjoy a rich, loving father-daughter relationship with your D.
Rock on, Coly... Cry if you have to, but laugh when you can, too
