Hugs to you and your daughter shel. I feel that this was more your ex than anything. Like many have said, remain strong and hopeful, but moving on. She knows where your heart is on this and given time, she will realize the error of her decision (if it was in fact her decision). Know that we will do what we can for emotional support. Have fun in NYC as you need this outlet to show your ex that you can handle what he throws your way, but make sure your daughter know that she can get ahold of you whenever she needs. You have already been added to the prayer list at church as well as my personal one. The name is gave the church is smdad, shel, Maryland, AllDeaf. I did the best I could to not break anything confidential.
