Hey, I left when my daughter was an infant. Was it painful? Yes, because I left her behind with someone whom, although I am having a hard time proving it, is unhealthy and IMHO not a stable parent. My ex A could screw up at anytime, indeed, it might work out for me in the end because if she does, then me, being the father would have to step up and take over. I wouldn't be happy if things came to that, but that's the reality and there is nothing I can do to fix it.
I would, however, feel better knowing that I could provide my daughter with stability and a loving family free of sickness.
