> We married because I was pregnant and he was a very nice guy that wanted to be part of his daughter’s life on a day to day basis. He has worked sporadically throughout the marriage but never contributed much. I pay the bills, health insurance, the cars, our daughter’s private school, etc etc. He picks up groceries once in a while.
> 
> We split up for a time but he couldn’t make it on his own and I allowed him to move back in the spare bedroom and gave him another bedroom for his music/game room.
> 
> I was planning on allowing him to stay until our daughter graduated high school in five years because, to be honest, he and I had very little contact. We never vacationed together or even went out to dinner together. I really can’t stand the man and he caused me a great deal of anxiety when around him.

> A great deal of anxiety when around him. I repeat that line because this is where I screwed up BIG TIME.

> While I had little contact with him, my daughter was with him each day after school. For the past year or so she has been despondent, depressed and I discovered she has been cutting/self injuring herself.
> 
> She has had a therapy “team” for about six months now. I met with her team last week and was told that her biggest stressor was her father. He does not physically abuse her, thank god, but he has been mentally and emotionally abusing her for years. And I never saw it because I wasn’t around to see it. It feels like I threw her to the lions to fight off each and every day. You can’t imagine the guilt.

> They recommend I limit contact and went so far as to tell me they will testify if necessary.

So, if you knew from the gitgo he was a bum, why did you allow him to impregnate you?
