Hello

I can relate to how you feel about your XP's lack of motivation with your DD and how much it impacts on you but I am only 30 weeks pregnant with DS but I can understand that it may be worse. The important thing is to put yourself and DD first as not put energy in pursuing him to create a relationship with DD as it seems that only you are suffering but from what you say you encourage and try to facilitate a relationship between XP and DD so at least there is the opportunity to XP to do this. Please do not focus so much of your attention on XP (this is hard) but do things from yourself and if possible even seek counselling because it is not your responsibility to create a relationship between XP and DD, it is his responsibility and in the end he will have to answer questions from DD about his lack of involvement. You are not perfect and it is okay to have these feelings and vent them cause I understand you are acting out of love for DD, you sound like a wonderful and strong mother who DD will look up and aspire to be like. Did not like XP affect you, make it clear to him that he is welcome to see DD but you will not be pursuing it and please look after yourself and DD. Your XP sounds just as lovely as my XP xoxoxo
