I've not lived with my daughter for a few years now and my ex is engaged to her new partner, referred to as 'Step dad' and we are currently in a spat over our daughters surname.
For the last year I have had a Friday-Sunday weekend every fortnight with my daughter but it is emotionally so tough those days apart, plus my ex makes it impossible to speak to her in the periods in between so I am turning up every time I do see her with massive anxiety about the reaction I am going to get based on the amount of poison from her Ma, even though each reaction is over the moon I still feel that dread every time I knock on the door to pick her up based on just a couple of negative experiences.
Without turning the BBS into Mumsnet, how many others out there are in similar circumstances or been through it and can offer advice on how to enjoy the short periods and deal with the shit in between? Does it get easier as they get older or should I enjoy her naivety on the adult world?
