I need advice on how to protect my daughter. I’m 48 years old and I’m getting a divorced. My future ex-husband filed a few months ago and I’ve had no choice but to follow through. We were married for 8 years and have a wonderful daughter who is 7. But 2 years ago a selfish homewrecker 20 years younger than me (and my still husband, as we are the same age) came along and destroyed everything that we had. I found out about it last year, and asked of him to leave her, which he allegedly did, but they soon got back together and next thing I knew he told me he thought WE should get separated and 6 months later asked for a divorce. We did have our problems like all couples, but our marriage was not so much on the rocks or at the verge of an imminent split, much less already over emotionally, as they claim. But the present is that we’re divorcing, he’s engaged to that "girl", and, after losing my husband to her, I feel like I’m also losing my daughter. Obviously he had our child meet his little whore and, in great part because I have gone to great lengths so as to make this time as easy and less traumatizing for my girl, she’s finding it "easy" to build a relationship with my baby. Not to mention that she is young and hip, and "fun" according to what I hear, so apparently she knows how to shorten a bridge or something. Often times when my husband has our daughter, his mistress (which is what she is as long as our divorce isn’t final) comes along, and makes my daughter laugh, and tells her nice stories, and helps her pick out clothes, and buys her treats, and watches disney movies with her, and sits her by the piano when she plays, and all kinds of crap. I know all this because when my daughter comes back home to me, she tells what she did, where she went, etc, and because she’s so young I feel I can’t tell her to leave his dad’s gf outside her comments. Obviously I gotta be thankful that this heartless bitch is not so heartless and treats my daughter well, but it also is very painful for me to see that a woman who stole my husband is working her way into my daughter’s life as well and I don’t know what to do. What am I supposed to do, how should I cope with all this? I feel so lost and hopeless, and I just wanna cry and cry all the time. I’m still in love with the man I’m divorcing, I still don’t understand what it is that I did wrong and what it is that she has and I don’t that made him choose her over me and leave me, and I still wish I could push her out of the picture and remake my family, if only for my daughter’s sake. I’m so very hurt but I would forgive him and I’d take him back, I just miss him so much and I don’t want that woman in my daughter’s life but I also can’t ask my daughter to hate her. What am I to do now? Please help.
