Self-soothing - does it require lotion?

Can I be a better father to her away from W?

A better question might be "Will she be able to have a better relationship with my W if I'm not obviously being made unhappy by her".

My Dad stuck it out in a terrible relationship with my "shopaholic, rage-aholic" mother, largely because of his 4 daughters. He got back together with her after separating twice because he was afraid (rightly so) that she was neglecting my youngest sister.He died recently and though my sisters and I are grateful that he did what he could for us, we are deeply saddened when we think about the sacrifices he had to make. Kids always sense what is really going on in a marriage and though maybe someday I can forgive my Mom for things she did to me, I will find it harder to forgive her for what she did to my Dad.

Though your daughter obviously won't know the details of your sex life, she'll still be able to sense that in some way Mommy is being mean to Daddy and she will probably want to take your side in the fight.

I'm sorry if this is a depressing post,but I keep having thoughts along this line because it seems like all you HD guys have daughters.
