thank you arsh I really appreciate that! it's hard to resolve for me the contrast between the strong man I read on here women wanting with the vulnerable/emotional man I am when I have to give D up to W...it's who/how I am though so...
i've read it's hard for WW's to let go of their LBH when they are such a fantastic father, of course my W hasn't/doesn't see me with D so hard to say that matters in my sitch. for sure I do wear my bond with my D with pride for all the world to see! given all the other pain I'm enduring, D is the light for me!
and yes, D knows for sure that Mommy and Daddy are not together and the worst pain of all is when D says she wants us all back together at "her house". as I've said before and perhaps a big reason for my continued struggle is that it's one thing for me and W to go our separate ways, but the feeling of D losing her family...
I will definitely give her all the hugs and kisses D can handle! You keep doing the same with your little ones!
