I have been divorced for 14 years now, similar kid problems and all 6 of my kids NOW know that dad was the crazy one. It just takes time.
    Boogie, I agree with Debbie's advice

    More than likely she thinks she will get more there, ....one day she will clearly see...

    Please concentrate on YOU....I've also come from a controlling, emotionally abuse marriage, read my blog from 2008...


    You've already beaten one thing...You realised you were being controlled, you left...

    You are smart, career orientated, money is money however, like me you will build again....

    In 3 years your daughter will be almost an adult, trust me when I say that will fly...Concentrate on YOU, your new life, the freedom, the chance to be who ever you want now, and gain that confidence, grow, learn and be you...

    3 years time, she will see who you really are, who he is, and you will bond again....

    That is what I feel when I read your post....

    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!

    With you being away from your daughter do you still feel it was worth it? I'm still stuck. Scared of losing everything, especially time w/my daughter even if its a short time.

    emotional

    Yes, definitely! Rely on your friends and family, they will be there for you. If I had left when she was 7, I would have had more chance of her having a balanced view on the situation. I never dreamed I would be separated from her, but my independence, my self-confidence and the fact I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder to find my ex-husband creeping up on me, is definitely worth it.

    Everyone I have spoken to without exception has said that she will come back to me, I have to be patient.

    Over the Christmas holidays, I reached rock bottom as I haven't seen her since the end of November. This morning I have been to see my daughter's form tutor and school counsellor. They have been incredibly helpful and supportive. Although they cannot put myself and my daughter together, I can get counselling and she can also if she feels she needs it. I have been told that my daughter is part of Parent Alienation Syndrome, which is basically being controlled by her father, albeit subtly.

    I feel such a relief, that maybe it isn't all my fault and feel more confident that she does love me after all.

    Thank you to those who replied, it helps when you know someone is listening.

    Emotional, no matter how long it takes there will come a time when you will be strong enough to make the right decision for you. I know I did!
