It Hurts So Bad (27)
I agree and would take that even further. I was the child of a divorce, and my parents sucked at parenting for most of my life (long story short), but, they were always there. Always. Now, I'm really close with both of my parents. The trick is, even when it hurts and is a struggle to stick it through..... Be there. Just being there for her, even if she doesn't respond well at first, will mean the world to her in the long run. Just make sure she understands that you're there for her forever. A 4 year old could easily misunderstand a divorce for you leaving her and mommy, not just mommy. You have to prove you didn't.

That's my story, too, Scott -- from the parents' side. I sucked at parenting -- started too young (for me, at least) -- but just kept hanging in there, always letting me know that I loved them and was interested in their lives, and helping them when needed. And the result...we get along better now than we ever did then.

Aww. She's still very young so please try not to take it to heart. Things will get better as she grows older. You'll see.
I'll say a little prayer for you.

have the florist deliver a balloon bouquet with candy or a stuffed toy to her house with one of those cards you can record a msg on and tell her she's the sweetest thing in your life and you miss her and will see her when she's ready
