Butterfly, when I was down on myself here because I had made much progress then had a rough patch, somebody told me that recovery is not linear. You may fall down but get back up and keep going. You cant cultivate his relationship with your daughter. I know as the mother you want the best for your daughter but unfortunately her dad is an A and eventually she will have to deal with it. There is no shielding her from that no matter how much your heart would like to. I feel that way about DD6 right now. I used to try and make the relationship good but the truth is that is not my responsibility. I will not interfere in it in any way, for the positive or the negative. I have to stay in my lane.
