I know exactly how you feel, my ex takes my son away for a fortnight every summer and for months beforehand I dread it so much!
Just think what a nice time she will have playing on the beach and having some quality time with her mum. I'm sure she will be well taken care of so you won't need to worry about that.
Maybe your ex wouldn't mind if you phoned her mid week, just to speak to your daughter?
She'll have a lovely time, the weather won't be too hot and imagine when you see her when she gets back, she'll be so excited = )
I know its hard but this is the way it is in this modern world with all our modern relationships, you just have to be really strong, maybe treat yourself to a little break too?
All the best x

I know how this feels. I'm a single mum and my ex and I share our children equally. The first time he took them away I had to be really strong. But I coped by telling myself that my attitude was selfish. I was thinking of myself when what I should feel, is that my children will be having a wonderful time away with their father. You see, at the end of the day, we have to force ourselves to think only of what is best for our kids and focus on that. Your daughter will go away to a wonderful place with her mother and have a fantastic time. At the end of the day try and adopt the attitude, that as long you daughter has a great time, it don't matter who with, as long as she is happy and having fun! Maybe you can do something similar with your daughter in the next holidays. So try and be positive.

I was in the same situation two weeks ago with a grandchild, I look after the child every day, they went to Russia, i was feeling very sad , having gone through the seperation my advice to you is , you may as well be happy , because this is going to happen on a constant basis, I was miserable and by the time i got myself together they were on their way home . THE WEEK WILL FLY . KEEP YOURSELF BUSY , GOOD LUCK .

you are very lucky there are a lot of men out there that would love to see their kid every day, but their ex partner wont let them or it is just too far to go, my ex sees his daughter every third weekend and longer for summer and christmas Im sure he would love to be in your boat, 1 week will fly by just think of the fun she will have, Maybe spend your time thinking how you can make your time together extra special when you see her after her holiday.

you will feel sad and lonely, but take this time to reflect on the good times you have with her, and maybe when she comes back, you can ask her mum if you could take her away for a week yourself -- she will enjoy herself so much having time with mum , but when she gets back she will have loads of hugs and kisses for her daddy which will show you no matter were you are or what your doing she will always love you and never forget you.
take care and be happy
wish there were more men out there like you

Look at it this way - take some time for yourself. Do things that you have been putting off or just chill and do nothing.
Look at the situation in a more positive light. You have a whole week to yourself - take advantage.
It'll be alright. Being a dad is a huge part of your life - but it shouldn't necessarily define you.
Rediscover yourself.

Dont be sad it will be really hard for you and you will miss her terribly but it is only 1 week and just think of the fun she will have..it will be a brilliant experience for her......get her mum to phone while they are away so you can chat with your daughter and she can tell you what she has been doing.

Grow up, life is full of disappointments. However, it is nice that you care for your daughter so much, but getting back with her in over a week will be even sweeter. Don´t make your daughter miserable by showing her you don´t want to go. You may make her feel guilty and torn between you and your ex girlfriend. (Be a man)

Cheer up a week is not long and she will miss you as well, and lets hope she has a terrific holiday and well done to you for maintaining regular contact with your daughter even though you have split from her mother.
