It sounds like you were married to the wrong person and it just didn't work out. It happens to a lot of people. I went through the same thing, but I stayed almost 20 years!! It's good you avoided all that. It is going to be tough having a young child and being on your own. I wouldn't know how to handle that, but keep reaching out, and keep your heart open. There are so many good people in the world who will help. People who can show you the way, or lend a hand when you need it. It sounds hard, but keep a positive attitude to attract good things to you. You deserve to be happy, and your daughter does too. It is so tough, but so worth it!! Your daughter has a good mom who loves her very much.
