Hi All, To celebrate with my 2000th post I just wanted to say that the sun shines once again. Today I saw my little girl for the first time since December 21st 2020. I was full of apprehension but it went so well and she shone through for me. We can now move forward and rebuild our relationship and as it should be both of her parents will once again be a part of her life. There are still tentative steps to take but today a mountain was finally climbed after what has been the hardest fight I have ever been in.
jaguar11, I’m here to tell you that you won’t lose her. My ex and I were divorced when my daughter was 3. She is 31 now and we are very close. I’ve attached some photos which I hope will reassure you. The best advice that I can give you is to just be there for her - be loving, be consistent, be supportive and lead by example. Make the most of your time together. Read to her, play games with her, teach her how to ride a bike or ski. Take her fishing. Go on vacation with her if you can. Indulge and support her interests in sports, music and art as she grows up. Never denigrate your ex in front of her and never put her in the middle of any dispute. It will work out. Trust me, I’ve been there.
