people tell me to hang in there because of my divorce and it is very draining and very hard to be a single dad who is part mom to my daughter my soon to be ex-wife tells me that she is glad that i have time to spend with our daughter because she doesn't and i keep telling her that you have to make the time not have the time to spend with our daughter. She realy pisses me off when she uses our daughter as a pawn in our battle, you can split the house, and the money, but you can't split the child.................

This is a tough one. Work very hard at keeping your daughter free from the squabble with your spouse. Both of you will ALWAYS be her parents, no matter what your personal relationship may be. It's not about the young girl, it's about the parents. You're right, your daughter shouldn't be part of the battle. It's tough enough on her as it is, without making her an issue as well. So, good luck. Ask your wife/ex-wife if she is interested in couples counseling...to work on the issues with your daughter.

I totally agree with you.
Your daughter will realise that you have and are doin, everything that you can for her.
As a mother I cant fathom why your soon to be ex doesnt want to spend time with your daughter, but in the long run your wife is the one missing out, and she will have to be the one to answer your daughters questions when and if the time comes.
I hope everything works well for yourself and your daughter.

She is not your wife anymore so don't tell her what to do, your relationship with your daughter is with you and your daughter, try not to bad mouth your ex for your daughters sake I know its hard but hang in there and try to let your resentment go nothing like a good lawyer

I Hope this help. if you wife to be does not love your daughter better look around you do not want to see you child growing to hate you. Be a loving Parent and do not substitute being a mother you are a father and one day when she grows she will appreciate you more than ever that you did everything because you loved her

You be the wise one.Don't argue with her,be friendly.Try to have a calm ,meaning-full communication with her,by telling her the person who gets hurt the most is your child.You need to get along for her sake.I am sure she'll come around.The situation is new and everybody is on edge.You need more time to get used to everything.It's a big change and an adjustment for everybody.Hang in there,really!

no u can't split the child.belive me it is not an easy job.forget your ex's attitude towards the child. Don't blame ur child for being a burden,when she grows up and understands u'll have all the compensation u'll ever dream off.continue to love her and she'll love u back. good luck

Too bad she isn't as mature as you are about this...you are so right! Nice to see that you have your priorities straight! Good luck to you.
