TurkishDelight: Do they hand in their wages to you Do they maintain their lifestyle without any intervention from you i.e. money etc
In our household (growing up) we had to hand in our wages from part time jobs, had an oppurtunity to run the household, which created essential lifeskills. It got us all out of the house by 18yrs
oh, happy happy days! we used to get 1 hours sleep each day! walk to work with nowt on our feet, work 23 hours then go home where dad would lash us with an empty beer bottle! happy happy days!

If it wasn't your choice for her to live with her mother and you do everything in your power to help support her no matter where she lives than in my eyes you arent a bum....my ex cheated on me, has our son every other weekend, then has tried many times to get it so our son is with him more. He can't hold a job...pays little to no support....and i get penalized for having a good paying job. Think you are just fine. Hang in there.

You're single....You're a Parent
You dont have to live with them to be a good parent A close friend of mine lives separealty from his kids...he is one of the best fathers that I have ever come across.
Men do get a hard time about moving out, yet sometimes its the best thing that could happen to that couple. I see friends parent their children in seperate homes and are doing a fine job of it, if anything the dads are, in my personal opinion, are the better of the two for parenting
