I know AS that whom she is spending time with should not matter, but it's just that you trusted someone with your life and dreams and what you got was betrayal.It hurts to see that they think their selfishness is above family.
I do understand your feelings on that. Eventually I told myself "is that really XW's fault though?" Is it her fault that I put all my eggs in one basket, assumed we would be married for life, planned my entire future around it and even my retirement? No it's not her fault, looking back I was EXTREMELY naive to believe we would walk hand-in-hand into the sunset. Very few relationships end up that way, especially in this day and age.

Our D who is just 2 does not understand what is happening and when she does, the pain that I have today will be compounded and my helplessness in not giving my child what she deserved in terms of a complete family like other kids will bite me in the face.
Kids these days are very knowledgeable about divorce. They all have friends that have gone through it or are going through it. Most kids expect their parents to go through it too, it's just become that common. Don't worry about what you can't control. Just show your D love and support and she'll be fine.
