Thanks, jexa! I'm going to skip over a whole lot of other good stuff, to this:

And most of the time I hate her for wanting it. I guess that is cruel, huh.

It seems to me that just as you can't give it to her, so she can't hold you hostage for it. Since it's (apparently) not to be had at the moment, would you and she consider joining forces and seeing what there
is to be had that might interest both of you?

Please watch your step.
I keep imagining you studying a map of the situation you just described. Over here is you... and over there is the little girl... and before you can do anything for her you'd have to cross all these miles and miles of oceans and mountains and deserts and jungles... and it looks more and more like
you just can't get there from here.
I have an idea.
Fold up the map and sit on it. Close your eyes and go into your space. Ask yourself how you know there's any little girl there. Or how you know you're here. Take what you get.
