Alright guys. Not giving up hope. I'm glad I posted here and vented instead of dwelling on it. I was able to have a conversation with W later this evening that seemed progressive, to say the least. There's plenty of hope.

You're right that she is resentful, and I have to leave it at that. I don't know why exactly, I can assume all I want, but I can't know. We decided to find someone to talk through our issues with, not to try and fix anything, but to learn from and to make our relationship better for the sake of our child. I told her again that I hoped for more and that I love her, but I accept that she may need to be away from me or without me in order to grow the way she needs to. I will try and document more of the conversation later. It was quite a lot. In the end, I think she was heard and a lot of the resentment melted away.

Thanks for your concern. I know I was a bit dramatic.
