Do you enjoy the time you spend with your daughter? I ask because you talk as though it is something you endure for her benefit. If so, your daughter will sense that.
Stand tall, So It Goes. You are not helpless.

I can't afford a lawyer to do that, and my ex's parents will counter with every resource they have, which are considerable. I have zero faith in the system, for reasons too numerous to detail here.
This is hard to admit... I enjoy the time with my daughter more than I enjoy anything else. However, I don't really enjoy anything very much anymore. I do my best to hide it, but you are right that she can probably sense it. That is why part of my apology was to her, though I know she will never read it. This is something I have made sure to note for when I can get into therapy. I just have to make it until then.
I only wish I still knew how to stand tall, Byzantine. I really do.
I finally heard from her mother, so I'm going to pick her up.
