I love my daughter so much 🥹

She saw me crying so she came & told me I was sad. I told her yeah, Dada gets sad sometimes but it's okay. She starts wiping my tears, then forces me to hug her which only made me cry more 😣 how did I get such a loving child 😭

Her mom moves out in a few days & I don't know what the week is gonna look like... or life after this. Obviously we knew this day was coming but I was trying to feel like a family for as long as we could before we weren't under the same roof anymore. Not because I wanna hold on to the relationship but because I know memories are all we'll have left of our life together. I'll still have Naya half the time but I won't get to see her every single day anymore. As a dad who always imagined getting to raise his kid every day, this sucks so much.

I'm determined but I'm still sad. I'm nervous. I'm fucking scared & I know I can build a life & a home for my daughter on my own but life's gonna be hard for a while. It's all just starting to feel more real now. All I know is I do it all for her. She's the reason I believe in myself. Thanks to her, I know it'll all be okay in the end.

I know you can do it, too. You’re plenty smart enough to avoid the usual traps. You’ll be mad enough at Mom in the coming days to get yourself in trouble. Stay smart. Don’t do it.

Don’t let Naya hear you badmouthing Mom. She needs a solid foundation.

You’ll be in pain. Don’t go for the street-level pain killers. See a doctor and get some support.

Focus on being the great Dad you are. If it ever comes to a custody hearing, the courts notice that a lot. Maybe keep a journal listing every time you see Naya and what you do together.

I am so sorry this has happened to your family.

@Mamapolo2016 hopefully I'm not mad at her mom in the coming days. Right now I just feel sad. It's not even romantical I just miss being friends at this point. I want to be be able to joke around still & even go out together to do things with Naya without it being weird or an annoyance.

I wouldn't badmouth her in front of Naya though. My dad never did that about our mom & I appreciate that. I want Naya to respect her mom so I gotta respect her mom too. I'll always say she's a good mom because she is.

I appreciate the advice btw. Maybe I'll do the journal listing just to be safe. I'm already thinking I should keep the receipts to everything I buy her especially like clothes, diapers, & wipes. I don't want it to come off like I'm being petty but I've heard stories & people tell me to keep track of everything I do for her just in case. I wanna have proof that I take care of my daughter
@ChiefJustWalks Hopefully you will never need it.
