Re: Need advice...lifting yourself back up? ga_sunshyne: Sosad.....
I know how it feels. I have been there and done that as well. I could have cared less that it was her b-day....but my son...just a your daughter was....was excited to make something for her. It killed me...but i obliged as pleasantly as I could. I know i can't keep her out of his life...so as long as she is involved with his Dad ...she's gonna be around. He has even told me (reluctantly) that he loves her a little bit. And that's okay. I told him it was fine...that that only meant that he had one more person in the world who loves him. But...he also added...but i don't love her like i love u Mama. And it's okay. THe first time he even metioned her name and anything that was going on with her and his Dad...i just cringed. But now that I am seeing someone..it doesn't hurt so bad. Hurts still..but not the same....if that makes any sense at all.
You are and were being the bigger/better person....and in the end you will benefit from that...as well as your daughter....
Hope today is better for you....

Re: Need advice...lifting yourself back up? mariher: I think you've handled this situation wonderfully. It takes alot of guts and love for your family to help her out making a present for the OW. I would have done the same thing for my daughter because the more people she has in her life that love her and take care of her and make her feel safe always, the better I'll feel. Right now, my daughter's father is still single, he hasn't met anyone new yet but if and when he does I'll be happy for him as long as she's a good person at heart.
You deserve a big hug for being so wonderful :)
