As others have said before me, be strong for your child.
I don't have any experience in these situations, but reacting harshly creates an even further divide between you and the mother which consequently harms your child. Considering her situation, you may need to be on at least speaking terms when it comes to her care. I hope things work out and I'm sorry this happened to you. Remember, do everything you do from here on out for her. |

Dude, my deepest sympathy. That's a gut punch no one deserves!

I'm sorry, man. I feel bad enough for you, but I feel awful for your little girl. Get a couple of professionals in your life: a relationship counsellor or a damned good lawyer or maybe both. Your bartender can make the pain go away for a while but he can't help you work the problem.

I really can't pretend to know what you're going through so I won't. I've had my heart shredded by a dame or several but nothing like that. I felt like dog balls each time. I can't imagine how I would feel in your shoes.
What worked for me was striving for excellence. In whatever the hell I had going at the time. |

Feel what you feel. People like to be helpful and tell you to not be mad/sad/hurt but that's not going to help. Feel them all -- just don't do anything that will make matters worse or convince yourself that things can't get better in the future. You just don't know.
It sucks but you can't make people love/respect you. |

my wife left me via text message so I understand your gut wrenching pain Beach. It doesn't heal quick enough, but if you allow yourself to focus on making a better you, there WILL be other people *if you allow* to help fill that void. They will never completely fill that void until YOU are ready to fill it and that is OK. it is OK to NOT be okay.. but understand that the more you allow yourself to be dragged down by the hurt, that it could have some devastating effects on your life in all aspects. Be strong.

Sorry man. Sucks to have to go through.
Let me guess. She hooked back up with this X via Facebook? I've had more married woman come onto me via Facebook. Then I care to discuss |

Looks like you're on the opposite coast but if you happen to be near San Francisco , please hit me up. I'm a good cook and you could crash out at my pad for a couple days.
I got good herb and booze ha-ha. Anyway man ... We are family |
