    Don't stay together for the child. It's better to be from a broken home than growing up in one.

    He's not the father of the child. The child never had an intact family, consisting of a married mother and father. And she sure doesn't have one now. I'd think the concern about physical and psychological well being would be focused on this poor little girl who has no choice in all this. But instead, the fretting is reserved for the consenting adult who has moral agency and the parental responsibility to discern. Never change MFP.

    I have been lurking for a long time...just want to say I find almost every one of your posts informative, spot on, and quite amazing....

    and OP, 'we' don't have a daughter, u do, he's not her real father, and frankly, even if he were, that doesn't change my opinion.....unless communication and respect is mutual, u will never be happy and neither will ur daughter and she may mimic the same unhealthy relationship behavior that is being demonstrated to her....u both deserve better

    I have been in a very toxic relationship, and I can tell you that it is as easy as leaving. I'm going to give you a bit of tough love advice that I wish someone would have given me.....you are making excuses. Stop. You can leave. There is a better life out there. Stop using your daughter as a reason to stay because she needs a strong mom. You are worthy of so much better, but as long as you keep making excuses to stay, you are only going to get sucked into a deeper darker place within yourself. Stop feeling sorry for yourself this minute, and start looking for ways to make a better future for you and your daughter without him. I'm not saying it will be easy, but in the end, it will be very worth it. Most of all, ((big hugs)) because getting to the point where you realize you are sabotaging your own life by allowing negativity to surround you is never an easy journey.

    Soooooo do you freeze when someone looks at you? ;)

    Only long enough to get my scary face on!
