I wish I had more time to write, but I wanted you to know that your daughter is only capable of saying her truths in front of you because she feels how much you love her, and she trusts that love. She may be aware that she is hurting you, but maybe not. But the fact that she can let you know how she feels is huge. You are the trusted parent.
And that feels so crummy. I've been separated a year. I get all the bad stuff and he gets their undivided attention and they have fun together. But when I really stop and think about it (yes, I have tears and melt downs around it too) I wouldn't trade being an authentic part of their lives for the 15 hours a month of fun.
All the other stuff s*cks, it feels like a pile on, doesn't it? But it won't always be this way. Slowly, slowly, change will happen.
