I feel guilty that my daughter cries for me at times. I feel guilty that she wants to be with me. But you are right, she's with my W 50% of the time so she is fine. I am a good dad, my W tells me that all the time. I haven't texted in the morning in awhile. Today, my W texted me telling me what she was doing with my D. At that point I asked how she was. I figured I don't initiate then I'm making progress.
And daycare is actually my W's sister-in-law but she is completely on my side! So she lets me know how my D is doing.
Honestly, I feel like the more I step back the more my W reaches out. It feels good but I need to stay strong on that.
